Fresh meat color is a major factor influencing the purchase of meat products by consumers, whereas tenderness is the primary trait determining overall eating satisfaction of consumers. The objectives of this research were to determine the effects of packaging atmosphere on fresh beef color stability, cooked color, and tenderness. Longissimus lumborum muscles (n = 14 pairs) from USDA Select, A-m...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the capacity an electronic nose, NeOse Pro, assess alteration two food matrixes animal origin, beef and salmon. For each matrix, types samples were analyzed, natural simplified “diluted” based on meat juice agar. Samples inoculated with specific spoilage organisms stored for 6 days at 8°C under different conditions: air, modified atmosphere packaging, vacuu...

The effects of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP at 60% N ; 35% CO and 5% O ) and 2 2 2 under-vacuum packaging (UV) and cold storage at 4±1°C for 8 weeks on the quality aspects of traditional and liquid flavorings smoked whole and gutted mullet (Mugil cephalus) were the main objectives of this work. Some quality aspects of smoked mullet involved chemical, microbiological and sensory evaluation...

Flesh and fatty acid compositions, total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), lipid oxidation aerobic plate count, Enterobacteriaceae , psychrotrophic bacteria were determined in raw smoked mackerel during cold storage (three groups differing way of packaging; unpacked (UP), vacuum packaging (VP) modified atmosphere (MAP) at 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42 days. The protein, fat content n-3 polyunsaturated a...

Many studies have been carried out with respect to packaging methods and temperature conditions of beef. However, the effects of packaging methods and temperature conditions on the quality characteristics have not been extensively studied in low-grade beef. Low-grade beef samples were divided into 3 groups (C: ziplock bag packaging, T1: vacuum packaging, and T2: modified atmosphere packaging (M...

Beef burgers were stored at 4°C in a vacuum in nisin-activated antimicrobial packaging. Microbial ecology analyses were performed on samples collected between days 0 and 21 of storage to discover the population diversity. Two batches were analyzed using RNA-based denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and pyrosequencing. The active packaging retarded the growth of the total viable bacte...
