Effect of modified atmosphere packaging on color stability and on microbiology of turkey breast meat
1994
Sante, V. | Renerre, M. | Lacourt, A.
The effects of several modified atmospheres (100% O2, 100% N2, 100% CO2 + O2 scavenger, and 25% CO2 9% N2 66% O2) and vacuum on the color stability of turkey were studied. Microbiological examinations were performed at days 0, 7, 14 and 21. pH and pigment content measurements were performed at days 1 and 2, respectively. Color coordinates were determined at intervals of 2, 5, 7, 11, 14 and 21 days storage in the CIELAB system. Meat kept under vacuum and 100% CO2 + O2 scavenger treatment showed the highest a* values color stability (p < 0.05) and the lowest rate of myoglobin oxidation (p < 0.05). The level of microbiological contamination of turkey breast meat stored with 100% CO2 + O2 scavenger was the lowest. Conditioning breast turkey meat with 100% CO2 + O2 scavenger or under vacuum would improve the color stability during storage.
