Abstract. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of vacuum packaging and modified atmosphere packaging (80 % N2 + 20 % CO2) on the microbial and physicochemical parameters of lamb meat and the sensory properties of cooked meat. Musculus longissimus thoracis et lumborum samples were examined at 10 d intervals (0, 10, 20 and 30 d) during storage at 4 ∘C. There was no significant effect of the packaging method and storage time used on cooking loss, natural drip loss, lightness, yellowness, and intensity of taste and aroma. An interaction between storage time, packaging method, and mesophilic aerobic bacteria and coliform counts was observed. Storage time significantly affected the number of aerobic psychrotrophic bacteria, redness, pH (P≤0.001), shear force value (P=0.006), and the desirability of aroma (P<0.026) and taste (P<0.01). During the storage time, an increase in red saturation from 11.92 to 13.33 and pH value from 5.69 to 5.80 was recorded. Moreover, the storage method affected sensory properties. Vacuum-packed meat was characterized by higher scores in juiciness, tenderness and taste desirability in comparison to MAP. The obtained results suggest that both packaging methods allow for maintaining high-quality lamb meat during a long period of storage under refrigeration conditions.

Ostrich meat is a high-quality dietetic product, however, it is very sensitive to deterioration during storage. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of packaging systems on the fatty acid (FA) profiles in ostrich meat during refrigerated storage. The systems were: Vacuum packaging (VP) and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) in two combinations of gases: MAP1 (40% O2/40% CO2/20% N2) and MAP2 (60% O2/30% CO2/10% N2). Samples were taken from the M. ilifibularis (IF) muscles of eight ostriches in each treatment group. The packs were stored in a refrigerator at 2 °C and analyzed at 0, 4, 8, 12 and 16 days. The packaging conditions and storage time had an impact on the concentration of bioactive compounds such as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), including n-3 such as C18:3, C20:5 (EPA) and C22:6 (DHA). The least changes in composition of n-3 and the sum of PUFA were recorded in ostrich meat packaged in vacuum, followed by that packaged using MAP1 and MAP2. The sum of n-6 PUFAs decreased significantly by 2.1% for MAP2, and only by 0.7% for vacuum packaging as the experiment progressed. A significant deterioration of these compounds was observed in all package systems, especially from day 12 until day 16 of storage.

Psychrotrophic Bacteria

Flesh and fatty acid compositions, total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), lipid oxidation and aerobic plate count, Enterobacteriaceae, psychrotrophic bacteria were determined in raw and smoked mackerel during cold storage (three groups differing in way of packaging; unpacked (UP), vacuum packaging (VP) and modified atmosphere (MAP) at 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, and 42 days. The protein, fat content and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids increased after smoking. The pH value and TVB-N were significantly higher in unpacked mackerel. Initial malondialdehyde concentration in raw mackerel was lowered after smoking and then lipid oxidation was the most pronounced in unpacked mackerel. Hot smoking, vacuum packaging, and modified atmosphere reduced bacterial growth, while the microbial contamination in all groups was below the limits during the whole period of storage. However, physicochemical properties of unpacked mackerel exceeded the limits from day 35 on. The present study indicates a lowering of products of secondary lipid oxidation after smoking followed by accelerated lipid degradation during cold storage of unpacked smoked mackerel. It is suggested that the smoking process and appropriate packaging method can protect lipids as well as valuable polyunsaturated fatty acids from oxidation. Vacuum packaging and modified atmosphere ensured microbial quality and protein and lipid stability. Their use is recommended for extending the shelf life of smoked fish considering the initial microbial and also chemical quality before and after smoking.

Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the microbiological, sensory and chemical changes of modified atmosphere packaged ćevapčići in a gas mixture consisting of 70% O2 and 30% CO2. Packaged ćevapčići were stored for 10 days at 3ºC. Microbiological examination comprised determination of pathogenic microorganisms (Salmonella spp., coagulase positive staphylococci, Escherichia coli and Listeria monocytogenes) as well as indicators of hygiene and spoilage (total viable count, psychrotrophic bacteria, Enterobacteriaceae, lactic acid bacteria and Brochothrix thermosphacta). Using quantitative-descriptive test with grading scales from one to five, sensory properties of ćevapčići were assessed (color and odor in raw condition and odor, texture and taste after roasting) on the 1st, 4th, 6th, 8th and 10th days of storage. Regarding the chemical parameters, every day during the storage, pH was examined and on 4th and 8th days, acid value and peroxide number were established. On the basis of the results obtained and the recommended total viable count, which should not be higher than 7 log cfu/g, and taking into consideration sensory properties, we can conclude that ćevapčići packed in the modified atmosphere containing 70 % O2 and 30% CO2 had a shelf life of seven days.

Organoleptic Characteristics

The present article investigates the effect of sodium lactate on microbiological, physico-chemical and sensory characteristics of lightly salted Pacific herring ( Clupea pallasii ) and Baltic herring ( Clupea harengus membras ) during refrigerated storage 5 ± 0.3°C. There have been analyzed different processing methods of lightly salted samples of Pacific and Baltic herring: control (without sodium lactate), and experiment (3% sodium lactate), both in vacuum packaging and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP - 40% CO2/60% N2). For vacuum and MAP there were used bags with low oxygen permeability (3 cm3/m2/day). It was found that 3% sodium lactate keeps firmness of the texture of salted fish muscle and reduces the release of water into the package during storage. Adding 3% sodium lactate reduces the value of the water activity in lightly salted Pacific and Baltic herring by 0.01-0,012 units. The lowest pH (0.02 units) was registered in samples without sodium lactate packed in MAP. Organoleptic signs of spoilage in fish without sodium lactate appeared much earlier, and using 3% sodium lactate both in vacuum and in MAP helped protect and improve organoleptic characteristics of the product during storage. Total biological semination of experimental samples packed in MAP kept at the very low level during the whole storage period, i.e. combined effect of using 3% sodium lactate and MAP inhibited microbial growth. This combination allows to reduce twice the rate of accumulation nitrogen in terminal amino-groups and to increase 1.5-2 times storage life of lightly salted Pacific and Baltic herring, compared to their storage life in vacuum packaging without sodium lactate. The results obtained allow us to recommend using sodium lactate in production of lightly salted fish in oxygen-free packaging, especially in modified atmosphere packaging (40% CO2/60% N2).

Meat Samples

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the packaging system type on the physical characteristics and microbial changes in ostrich meat during refrigerated storage. The applied packaging systems were vacuum packaging (VP) and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) using two combinations of gases: MAP1 (40% O2/40% CO2/20% N2) and MAP2 (60% O2/30% CO2/10% N2). Eight meat samples were obtained in three replicates for all parameters, except for pH, for which six replicates were obtained from the M. ilifibularis (IF) muscle, and were stored in a refrigerator at 2 °C and analyzed at 0, 4, 8, 12 and 16 days for the effect of packaging methods on physical meat quality. The initial pH (5.99) decreased at the end of the storage time for MAP1 to 5.81, whereas VP was stable from day 0 to 12 and increased up to 6.08 on day 16. Regarding meat color, the L* value increased during storage for MAP1 and MAP2 from 36.99 to 40.75 and 41.60, respectively, whereas it declined for VP to 34.22. The same tendencies were reported for redness (a*) and yellowness (b*). Drip loss was the lowest in MAP1 and highest in VP. The lowest total viable bacteria counts were identified in VP, as compared to MAP1 and MAP2.
