Development of Drying Methodology for Intact Whole Buffalo Liver, Its Characterization, Shelf Life, and Evaluation of Palatability as Pet Treat

Table 3

Yeast and mold count (log CFU/g) of dried buffalo liver stored at room temperature (°C) at different time intervals. T2L refers to the buffalo liver dried by surface slicing, piercing, pretreatment, microwaving, and hot air drying. T1L denotes buffalo liver dried in the same way as T2L except without surface slicing and piercing. CL refers to buffalo liver dried simply by hot air drying.
