Ultra-High Pressure Chilled Meat Processing: A Promising Storage Method

High Pressure Processing of Meat, Meat Products and Seafood

High pressure processing (HPP) allows the decontamination of foods with minimal impact on their nutritional and sensory features. The use of HPP to reduce microbial loads has shown great potential in the meat, poultry and seafood industry. HPP has proven to be a promising technology, and industrial HPP applications have grown rapidly, especially in the stabilization of readyto-eat meats and cur...

Effects of Procyanidin on Meat Quality and Shelf-Life for Preserving Pork Patties during Chilled Storage.

Grape seeds and pericarp are rich in procyanidins, a class of natural antioxidants and antimicrobials that can provide phytonutrients for healthy eating and extend food shelf life. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of procyanidins as preservatives in pork meat patties for 14 d. Pork patties were treated with 0, 0.1, or 0.3% procyanidin, and meat color, pH, volatile basic nitr...

Effects of Different Feeding Regimes on Deer Meat (Venison) Quality Following Chilled Storage Condition

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of different feeding regimes on the quality of deer meat (venison) following storage at 4°C for various durations. Twelve 5-year-old elk stags about 350 kg were stratified by weight and randomly assigned to one of four dietary treatments (three elk stags per treatment). The dietary treatments consisted of a feeding concentrate of 1.5% of body w...

Effects of Edible Films Containing Procyanidin on the Preservation of Pork Meat during Chilled Storage

Procyanidins, which are natural antioxidants and antimicrobials found in grapes, enhance the quality and extend the shelf life of meat. We explored the effects of edible films incorporating procyanidins on pork loin stored for various times. Procyanidins (0, 0.1, and 0.3%, w/w) were incorporated into the edible films. We assessed meat color, pH, levels of volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) and 2-thi...
