The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of two protective lactic acid bacteria cultures combined with modified atmosphere packaging on the survival/growth of Listeria innocua 2030c (as a surrogate for Listeria monocytogenes) and on sensory attributes of ready-to-eat ‘lombo’ over storage time. Sliced ‘lombo’, a traditional cured-smoked pork loin, was inoculated with L. innocua 2030c, Lactobacillus sakei ST153 (isolated from ‘salpicão’) and BLC35 culture (with Lactobacillus curvatus, Staphylococcus xylosus and Pediococcus acidilactici; CHR Hansen) as protective cultures. Samples were packed in two modified atmosphere packaging conditions (20% CO2/80% N2 and 40% CO2/60% N2) and stored at 5 ℃ for 124 days. Both cultures led to a reduction of 1–2 log CFU/g of L. innocua 2030c after 12 h; however, at the end of storage only Lb. sakei ST153 maintained this antilisterial effect, which was more evident at 40% CO2/60% N2. The influence of cultures addition and modified atmosphere packaging conditions on the sensory characteristics of the product were not significant. Thus, Lb. sakei ST153 combined with modified atmosphere packaging is a strong candidate to be used in a biopreservation strategy maintaining the traditional sensory quality of cured-smoked pork products and increasing their safety with respect to Listeria spp.

The combined effects of low-dose irradiation and modified-atmosphere packaging treatments were studied with respect to survival and growth of salmonellae and changes in physicochemical and sensory characteristics of fresh pork loin chops. Fresh trimmed pork loin chops were inoculated with salmonellae (about 103 to l04 CFU/g), packaged with air, vacuum, 25% CO2, 50% CO2, or 75% CO2 balanced with N2, and irradiated by 0 or 1.0 kGy electron beam. All samples were stored at 2 to 4°C for 2 weeks, followed by storage at 25°C for 1 day. Uninoculated samples were also subjected to the same treatments and stored at the same refrigeration temperature for 4 weeks with weekly measurements of color, purge loss, and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) values, as well as panel evaluations for color and odor. The number of salmonellae was initially reduced by 0.3 to 1.4 log cycles by 1.0 kGy irradiation, depending on packaging atmospheres applied. Salmonellae were more sensitive to irradiation in the presence of air. Using combinations of 1.0 kGy irradiation with a vacuum or elevated CO2 levels resulted in no survival of salmonellae after 2 weeks of storage at 2 to 4°C, and no further recovery after one more day at abuse temperature. Combined treatments also helped to slow the physicochemical and sensory changes in irradiated fresh pork chops. Vacuum packaging maintained pink color in irradiated pork, but showed greater purge loss and relatively high TBA values in comparison with CO2 atmospheres; all CO2 atmospheres resulted in less desirable irradiated pork color after 2 weeks of storage.

The aim of this study was to determine the influence of different packaging materials on meat quality during cold storage. Therefore pork loins (m. longissimus thoracis et lumborum) obtained from crossbred pigs (Polish Landrance x Duroc, n = 6) were stored at 2 ℃ in modified atmosphere packs (80% O2, 20% CO2) in four types of trays, which differ in gas permeability. Physicochemical (headspace gas composition, pH, colour, drip loss, cooking loss, shear force, the basic composition and fatty acid profile) and microbiological ( Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli, Enterobacteriaceae, total aerobic plates count, total psychrotrophic bacteria count, the number of lactic acid bacteria, Pseudomonas spp., the general amount of yeast and mold) parameters were monitored for up to 12 days. At the end of the storage period no differences in most physicochemical properties of pork loin due to type of packaging were found, however trays with high gas permeability had the greatest impact on total aerobic plates count and Pseudomonas spp. growth.
