Effect of reduction of oxygen concentration in modified atmosphere packaging on bovine M. longissimus lumborum and M. gluteus medius quality traits.

Abstract excerpt

This paper reports the impact of modified atmosphere gas compositions with different concentrations of CO2/O2/N2 on physicochemical traits of beef steaks from M. longissimus lumborum and M. gluteus medius. Samples were stored at +2°C for 12days. The gas compositions were as follows: (i) 50% O2/20% CO2/30% N2 (MAP1), (ii) 65% O2/20% CO2/15% N2 (MAP2) and (iii) 80% O2/20% CO2 (MAP3). Packaging atmosphere did not...
