“…Previous studies involving oxygen scavengers did not compare different brands (Beggan et al, 2006;Buys, 2004;Gill and McGinnis, 1995b;Isdell et al, 1999;Limbo et al, 2013;Venturini et al, 2006;Venturini et al, 2014). In a few studies, multiple oxygen scavengers were compared, but the focus was on oxygen kinetics (Charles et al, 2006;Miltz and Perry, 2005;Tewari et al, 2002). For this reason, the current study compares 2 of the most commonly used commercial oxygen scavengers and 2 carbon dioxide concentrations in the headspace gas mixture to show the changes in gas concentrations while meat is master packed, as well as the effect of these treatments on meat color during master pack storage and retail display.…”
