Author(s): M Jouki and N KhazaeiM Jouki and N Khazaei
Lipid oxidation, color and sensory attributes of fresh camel meat stored at 4˚C were affected by modified atmosphere packaging conditions (AP: Air packaging, VP: Vacuum packaging, MAP: 60% CO2+40% N2). The a* value were lower in samples packed under vacuum than in the other groups. Modified atmosphere packaging camel meat had no significantly (P<0.05) different TBARS value and the levels of TBARS were not positively correlated with storage time. Our study showed that even though oxidative rancidity (TBARS) increased with storage time in air-packaged samples, it did not result the deterioration of sensory quality until day 14. Sensory panel results were in general agreement with the physicochemical changes, suggesting that the MAP had a significant impact on the quality of refrigerated camel meat. Modified atmosphere packaging of fresh camel meat a.. View More»
