The studies aimed at determining the influence of lactic acid on Salmonella spp. during storage of turkey carcasses’ samples for 2, 4 and 6 days. The initial average contamination of turkey carcasses’ elements with Salmonella spp. was 2.4 · 10³ bacteria. Following the immersion in water in average 4.3 · 10² Salmonella spp. cfu was recovered and that number was assumed as the inoculum. The number of Salmonella spp. decreases during storage of turkey carcasses’ samples in the refrigerator at 4℃. Compared to elements of carcasses immersed in sterile water the largest reduction, by two logarithmic cycles was recorded after 2 days of storage of samples treated with 1% lactic acid. In case of the other variants of the experiment when 1% solution of lactic acid was applied S. Enteritidis grew in numbers within the same logarithmic range. Compared to the samples immersed in sterile water, 2% lactic acid caused reduction in the number of Salmonella spp. on elements of poultry carcasses by one logarithmic cycle both immediately after contamination and after 2 and 6 days of storage; unfortunately after 4 days of storage S. Enteritidis grew in numbers that were within the same logarithmic range. During storage of the turkey samples tested at 4℃ for 2, 4 and 6 days, the numbers of Salmonella spp. decreased. That decrease compared to samples immersed in sterile water was the largest after 2 days of storage after application of 1% lactic acid.
