Effects of gas composition in modified atmosphere packaging on the meat quality of Spanish Manchega lamb

Abstract: The effects of four types of packaging atmosphere, each with a different gas composition (20±80% CO 2 ), on the meat quality of Spanish Manchega lamb were examined in order to suggest a gas composition for optimal preservation. Meat quality was assessed by pH, colour (L*,a* and b* values), water-holding capacity (WHC), cooking loss (CL) and shear force (SF). Gas composition affected all parameters except L* and SF. The pH values decreased signi®cantly in samples packed with 80% CO 2 but remained constant in th… Show more

“…Similarly microbial load of T1, T2 and T3 were significantly lower (p<0.05) than that of control sausages after 30 days of storage. This observation is in agreement with the findings reported earlier (Drosinos and Board 1995;Vergara and Gallego 2001;Kennedy et al 2005). Our results suggest that lower pH values of T1, T2 and T3 (5.8, 5.7 and 5.7, respectively) reduced total plate counts (5.4, 4.8 and 5.7 log cfu/g) compared to the control (pH 5.8, TPC 6.4 log cfu/g) sausages at day 30 of storage (Table 2).…”

“…The lower microbial levels seem to be due to the fact that microbial growth is inhibited at lower pH value. In agreement with our findings of lower pH values to reduce microbial growth has been reported earlier (Drosinos and Board, 1995;Kennedy et al, 2005;Vergara and Gallego, 2001). This result indicates the positive effect of using tomato powder for the product as an antibacterial ingredient.…”

“…WHC was measured according to methods proposed by Grau and Hamm (1953). Water loss was calculated according to Morales-delaNuez et al (2009) and sensorial odour and colour were recorded according to Vergara and Gallego (2001) and Morales-delaNuez et al (2009).…”
