Abstract
Clostridium perfringens is one of the most frequent causes of bacteria lly determined food poisoning. Its importance to food hygiene arises f rom the ability of some strains to synthetize enterotoxins. Clostridiu m perfringens enterotoxin (CPE) is a heat-labile toxin, its stability being dependent on various components. The serological and biological activity, amongst other things, of the time and temperature factor and of the common salt content of the milieu are affected where there is CPE-preformation in foods.
