Canning is the important method of meat preservation, which provide with wholesome product that have the desirable flavor, texture, and appearance. Canned beef is a semisolid food product in the form of compact mass which is prepared from beef, curing agents, seasonings and other' optional ingredients. The bacteriological quality of canned meat is highly dependent on the condition of the raw meat, additives, equipment, washing water, empty cannes and finally the cooling water of the ratorts. Even through that; the spoilage micro-organisms cause deterioration may be destroyed during processing (Hersum and Hulland, 1969; and Nasr et al., 1972).
