According to the national conditions in China, this article is aiming at introducing the application statues of the modified atmosphere packaging of the fresh red meat product. It has expounded in detail the product feature of the fresh red meat and the mechanization of retaining freshness in the way of the modified atmosphere packaging. From four aspects, this article analyzes the influencing factors of the fresh red meat, such as the proportion of mixed gas, gas barrier materials, meat splitting ways and the meat storage temperature. In accordance with the market sales environment, it has discussed the specific improvement operation mode in quality of meat, the handle ability and the effect of packing, as well as the problems which should be noticed in this process. At the end, it has look into the promising future in the modified atmosphere packaging of fresh red meat products.

ABSTRACT In recent years the sales of minimally processed vegetables have grown exponentially as a result of changes in consumer habits. The availability of artichoke buds as a ready-to-eat product would be, therefore, highly advantageous. However, minimally processed artichoke hearts are difficult to preserve because of their rapid browning and the proliferation of naturally occurring microorganisms. We developed artichoke hearts prepared as ready-to-eat products that maintain the characteristics of the fresh product. The microbiological stability, sensory qualities, and shelf life of the processed artichoke hearts were determined. During the shelf life, Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes, and Escherichia coli counts were below the limits legally established by European regulations for minimally processed vegetables. The pH played an important role in microbial growth. Artichoke hearts had lower microbial counts in experiments conducted at pH 4.1 than in experiments conducted at pH 4.4, although the recommended threshold value for total plate count (7 log CFU/g) was not exceeded in either case. Sensory parameters were affected by the microorganisms, and artichoke products at lower pH had better sensory qualities. Vacuum impregnation techniques, modified atmosphere packaging, and low storage temperature were very effective for increasing the shelf life of minimally processed artichokes. The average shelf life was approximately 12 to 15 days.

Custard apple, a tropical fruit, is underutilized because of its poor storability. Researchers have worked on various aspects for improving the storage life of fruits; still its storage life is limited to few days. So to counteract this, an experiment was conducted to study the effect of modified atmosphere packaging using three different kinds of films along with low temperature storage at 8, 12 and 15 °C and observations were recorded at weekly interval. The study indicated an increasing trend in the respiration rate and ethylene production rate as well, and the rate increased with increase in storage temperature and duration. The physiological loss in weight in packed fruits showed a drastic reduction. Titratable acidity increased as storage duration while ascorbic acid shown exact reverse trend. There was significant increase in reducing sugar and total sugar as duration increased but rate was low in 8° C fruits.
