The growth kinetic parameters (maximum growth rate, μ; lag time, λ and maximum population, k) of m>Salmonellam> spp. on the peel and in the pulp custard apple at 10, 15, 20 and 30°C were determinated. Samples of peel and pulp of custard apple were inoculated with a cocktail of three strains of m>Salmonellam> spp. (S. Typhimurium, m>Sm>. Enteretidis and m>Sm>. Montevideo) and further stored at 10, 15, 20 and 30°C. m>Salmonellam> can survive and multiply in both, the peel and in the pulp of the custard apple. Lower temperatures retard, but do not prevent m>Salmonellam> growth.
