dc.description.abstract |
To determine the effects of storage in a
high-carbon dioxide, modified-atmosphere
package (MAP) on shelf life, beef strip steaks
were packaged under 30% CO2-70% N2 and
stored for up to 42 days at 30 or 38 ̊F. Aerobic
plate counts (APC) and lactic acid bacteria
(LAB) counts in these ExtendPak™ packages
were well below the threshold of spoilage even
after 42 days of MAP storage. After 28 days of
storage, steaks stored in vacuum packages had
APC counts 1.0 log 10 greater than steaks in
MAP. APCs increased during a 5-day display
period in steaks store d in vacuum packages, but
no increases occurred with MAP. Repackaged
steaks from vacuum packages bloomed to a
brighter red color than steaks stored in MAP,
but MAP steaks were more color stable through
display. Microbial data indicate d that steaks can
be stored for up to 42 days using this promising
MAP system. The long storage life of MAP
steaks allows packers and retailers more flexibility
to respond to variable consumer demand,
without the threat of product spoilage. |
