AB  - Shelf life of pasteurized milk in Brazil ranges from 3 to 8 d, mainly due to poor 
      cold chain conditions that prevail throughout the country and subject the product 
      to repeated and/or severe temperature abuse. This study evaluated the influence 
      of storage temperature on the microbiological stability of homogenized whole 
      pasteurized milk (75 degrees C/15 s) packaged in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) 
      bottle and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) pouch, both monolayer materials 
      pigmented with titanium dioxide (TiO(2)). The storage temperatures investigated 
      were 2, 4, 9, 14, and 16 degrees C. Microbiological evaluation was based on 
      mesophilic and psychrotrophic counts with 7 log CFU/mL and 6 log CFU/mL, 
      respectively, set as upper limits of acceptability for maintaining the quality of 
      milk. The microbiological stability for pasteurized milk packaged in HDPE bottle 
      and stored at 2, 4, 9, 14, and 16 degrees C was estimated at 43, 36, 8, 5, and 3 
      d, respectively. For milk samples packaged in LDPE pouch, shelf life was 
      estimated at 37, 35, 7, 3, and 2 d, respectively. The determination of Q(10) and 
      z values demonstrated that storage temperature has a greater influence on 
      microbiological shelf life of pasteurized milk packaged in LDPE pouch compared to 
      HDPE bottle. Based on the results of this study, HDPE bottle was better for 
      storing pasteurized milk as compared to LDPE pouch.
