The modern food processing industry began in 1810 when Nicolas Appert invented the canning process. This was followed by the invention of a mechanical ammonia refrigeration system in 1875. In the 1860s Louis Pasteur had discovered the connection between the micro-organism and food spoilage, this put the development of food processing and preservation techniques on a firm scientific foundation. ...

Higlights ► Interval analysis is proposed to study error propagation in MAP modelling for 3 fresh produce ► Results are compared to a probabilistic Monte-Carlo approach ► Low computational costs to estimate upper and lower O2 and CO2 limits ► MAP optimisation generates robust solutions for O2 and CO2 permeabilities, expressed as fuzzy sets ► Experimental efforts should focus on produce physiolo...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the sensory properties musculus longissimus lumborum (LL) collected from Holstein-Friesian Black-and-White (HF BW) bulls and stored for 7, 14 21 days under different modified atmospheres (MA): vacuum, 80% O2 + 20% CO2, 60% 30% CO2 10% N2, 40% 70% Ar. Meat in MA containing more susceptible undesirable changes colour. aroma raw meat, evaluated immediately aft...

Effects of the combination of aerobic and anaerobic packaging on color, lipid oxidation, and volatile production were determined to establish a modified packaging method to control quality changes in irradiated raw turkey meat. Lipid oxidation was the major problem with aerobically packaged irradiated turkey breast, while retaining characteristic irradiation off-odor volatiles such as dimethyl ...
