    Dear Seafood List members
    Have any of you had any experience in the use of lactates as a microbiological hurdle in smoked seafood products? I gather they are gaining popularity in the red meat and poultry industrires. What I have read indicates that they are injected or mixed into minced meats. Does anyone know of applications where they have been applied as a surface treatment or applied in a wet brine? I am interested in finding out more about this type of application - concentrations used, efficacy, affects on sensory properties and any useful tips that you may have in their use.
    I'd appreciate any help that members can give.
    Many thanks
    Irene Thomas
