Abstract
In recent years, the presence and migration of PAEs in packaging materials and consumer products has become a serious concern. Based on this concern, the aim of our study is to determine the possible migration potential and speed of PAEs in benthic fish stored in vacuum packaging, as well as to monitor the storage time and type as well as polyethylene (PE) polymer detection.As a result of the analysis performed by µ-Raman spectroscopy, 1 microplastic (MP) of 6 µm in size was determined on the 30th day of storage in whiting fish muscle and the polymer type was found to be Polyethylene (PE) (low density polyethylene: LDPE). Depending on the storage time of the packaging used in the vacuum packaging process, it has been determined that its chemical composition is affected by temperature and different types of polymers are formed. 10 types of PAEs were identified in the packaging material and stored flesh fish: DIBP, DBP, DPENP, DHEXP, BBP, DEHP, DCHP, DNOP, DINP and DDP. While the most dominant PAEs in the packaging material were determined as DEHP, the most dominant PAEs in fish meat were recorded as BBP and the lowest as DMP. The findings provide a motivating model for monitoring the presence and migration of PAEs in foods, while filling an important gap in maintaining a safe food chain.

Abstract
Ice glazing containing 0.3 % D-sodium erythorbate (DSE), combined with vacuum packaging, was used as a method to maintain the quality of large yellow croaker during frozen storage. This study aimed to assess various aspects, including water properties (water holding capacity and moisture distribution), protein-related characteristics (secondary and tertiary structure of myofibrillar protein), freshness indicators (K value and total volatile base nitrogen (TVB-N)), and non-volatile flavor compounds (free amino acids (FAAs) and nucleotides) in samples stored for 300 days at -23 °C. The results showed that vacuum packaging had a significant inhibitory effect on the growth of ice crystal. Notably, it successfully maintained the cross-sectional area of nearly all ice crystals below 20,000 μm2, effectively curtailing water loss. Simultaneously, the combination of vacuum packaging with the complex ice glaze effectively mitigated the degradation of IMP and free amino acids, maintaining low levels of K value (12.85 %) and TVB-N (11.28 mg N/100 g) throughout the 300-day frozen storage, retaining first-class freshness. Among the various treatment modalities assessed, the combined application of vacuum packaging and 0.3 % DSE-infused ice glazing emerged as the most effective in terms of preservation outcomes. This efficacious combination shows promising potential for the frozen storage of aquatic products and is therefore recommended for practical implementation.

Abstract
Effect of packaging at different vacuum levels such as 7.2 Pa (99.99% vacuum), 30 kPa (70.39%), 70 kPa (30.91%), and 101.33 kPa (0%, atmospheric condition) using a specially designed airtight container on physicochemical and microbial properties of beef brisket cuts during cold storage was investigated. Dramatic pH increase was found only in air atmospheric packaging. Higher vacuum level yielded higher water holding capacity and lower volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA), and growth rate of aerobic bacteria and coliforms, whereas the fatty acid composition showed no difference among various vacuum levels. The highest vacuum level (7.2 Pa) yielded no increases in VBN, TBA, and coliform and the least increase in aerobe counts. For bacterial communities, higher vacuum levels yielded higher proportions of Leuconostoc, Carnobacterium, and lactobacilli belonging to the phylum Firmicutes and lower proportions of Pseudomonas belonging to the phylum Proteobacteria. Predictive curves for bacterial communities showed that just a little oxygen significantly affects the bacterial dominance based on different oxygen dependence of individual bacteria and their logarithmic changes by vacuum level.

Abstract
The objective of the current study was to optimize the cook-chill conditions of high-value whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) processed using the sous vide (SV) technique and to assess the effects of various time-temperature combinations on the physicochemical, textural, and sensory qualities. For optimization, a Response Surface Methodology (RSM) approach utilizing a Central Composite Design (CCD) was adopted. Optimum SV cooking conditions to acquire minimum texture (hardness) of 7235 g was 13.48 min and 81.87 °C, expressible moisture of 18.48% was 14.5 min and 84.5 °C, and cook loss of 5.58% was 5 min and 75 °C. Texture (hardness) and expressible moisture decreased while cooking loss increased with increasing time-temperature treatment. Redness and yellowness values increased (p < 0.05) with increasing SV cooking time-temperature, but lightness values were nearly consistent in all treatments. With increasing time and temperature, TBARs and total carotenoid content increased (p < 0.05). However, the TBARs values were within accepted limits and ranged from 0.05 to 0.08 mg malonaldehyde/kg. Sensory evaluation indicated that all SV cooked samples were well accepted, with overall scores ≥7. These results suggest that the SV cooking temperature and time had a substantial impact on the textural, physicochemical, and sensory characteristics of shrimp. In addition, increasing time-temperature increased cooking and moisture loss, but decreased hardness and higher sensory scores made the product more acceptable to consumers.

Abstract
This study was conducted to compare the effects of ultraviolet light (UV), chemical sanitizers, and heat treatments on Salmonella inactivation and preservation of almond quality. Whole, skinless, and sliced almonds, representing different shape and surface topography, were inoculated with a Salmonella cocktail consisting of S. Montevideo, S. Newport, S. Typhimurium, S. Heidelberg, and S. Enteritidis. Inoculated almonds (50 g) were treated by UV (30 mW/cm2, 30 or 60 min), 75 °C heat (up to 150 min), and chemical sanitizers (3 % hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and 1 % cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), 30 or 60 min) alone or in combinations. Uninoculated almonds were similarly treated for analyzing color, visual appearance, and weight changes. In general, UV treatment alone was ineffective in inactivating Salmonella; the 30- and 60-min UV treatments reduced Salmonella by 1.3 (± 0.1) and 1.7 (± 0.1), 2.7 (± 0.2) and 3.3 (± 0.1), and 1.3 (± 0.1) and 1.7 (± 0.1) log CFU/g on whole, skinless, and sliced almonds, respectively. Prior wetting of almonds with water and chemical solutions in a few cases significantly (P < 0.05) increased the UV inactivation of Salmonella. The most pronounced Salmonella killing effect achieved by the combined treatments were: 1-min H2O2 dipping followed by 60-min UV treatment for whole (3.0 logs) and skinless almonds (3.8 logs) and 1-min CPC dipping followed by 60-min UV treatment for sliced almonds (3.0 logs). However, none of those achieved >4 log reductions of Salmonella as required by FDA. The 30-min UV treatment produced discolored but overall acceptable almonds, whereas the 60-min UV treatment led to deteriorated almonds including a dark color, oil extraction, and shrunk kernel size. Prior wetting reduced the sample weight loss but caused local burning and kernel cracking. A sequential approach of a 60-min 75 °C heat treatment and two 30-min wet UV treatments successfully reduced Salmonella by >4 logs, but more severe kernel cracking occurred. In contrast, a single heat treatment of vacuum packaged whole almonds at 75 °C for 150 min was capable of achieving >5 log reductions of Salmonella while preserving almond color and visual qualities and minimizing weight loss. These results clearly demonstrated that the heat treatment was a much better processing technology than UV and sanitizers for raw almond pasteurization.

Abstract
Vacuum packaging is widely used for extending the shelf life of commercial fresh meat products. It also ensures product hygiene during distribution and storage. However, very little information exists concerning the effects of vacuum packaging on the shelf life of deer meat. One of our aims was to evaluate how storage under vacuum at 4 °C affects the microbial quality and safety of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) meat cuts. This was assessed in a longitudinal study based on sensory analyses and measurements of (1) mesophilic aerobic bacteria (MAB), (2) lactic acid bacteria (LAB), (3) enterobacteria (EB), (4) and Escherichia coli (EC) counts, and the presence of foodborne pathogens (Campylobacter, Salmonella, stx-harbouring E. coli (STEC), Yersinia and Listeria). Microbiomes were additionally investigated by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing at the time of spoilage. In total, 50 vacuum-packaged meat cuts from the carcasses of 10 wild white-tailed deer harvested in southern Finland in December 2018 were analysed. A significant (p < 0.001) drop in the odour and appearance scores and a significant increase in MAB (p < 0.001) and LAB (p = 0.001) counts of the vacuum-packaged meat cuts were observed after 3 weeks of storage at 4 °C. A very strong correlation (rs = 0.9444, p < 0.001) between the MAB and LAB counts were found during the 5-week sampling period. Clear spoilage changes, manifested as sour off-odours (odour scores ≤2) and pale colour, were detected in the meat cuts spoilt after 3-week storage. High (≥8 log10 cfu/g) MAB and LAB counts were also detected. According to the 16S rRNA gene amplicon analyses, Lactobacillus was the dominant bacterial genus in these samples, demonstrating that LAB can cause rapid spoilage of vacuum-packaged deer meat cuts stored at 4 °C. The rest of the samples were spoilt after four or five weeks of storage, and a vast number of bacterial genera were identified in them. Listeria and STEC were detected by PCR in 50 % and 18 % of the meat cut samples, respectively, which may indicate a public health problem. Our results demonstrate that it is very challenging to ensure the quality and safety of vacuum-packaged deer meat stored at 4 °C, and freezing is therefore recommended to prolong the shelf life.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the inclusion of mango peel ethanolic extract (MPEE) as antioxidant in quail diets containing two lipid sources, on performance, carcass characteristics, and lipid stability of in natura and frozen meat. A total of 432 meat quails were used, males and females, from 7 to 42 days of age, distributed in a completely randomized design in a 3 × 2 factorial arrangement, with 3 levels of MPEE (0, 500, and 1000 mg/kg) and 2 lipid sources (soybean and sunflower oil), totaling 6 treatments with 6 replications of 12 birds. In order to evaluate the meat lipid stability, carcass samples were used in a 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 factorial arrangement, with 2 levels of MPEE (0 and 1000 mg/kg), 2 lipid sources (soybean and sunflower oil), 2 types of packaging (conventional and vacuum), and 3 storage times (0, 60, and 120 days), totaling 16 treatments with 6 replications. There was no effect of interaction (P > 0.05) between the factors on the performance variables and carcass characteristics. Oil types and MPEE levels did not influence (P > 0.05) performance. For carcass characteristics, it was found to be increased (P < 0.05) in breast meat yield due to the inclusion of MPEE. For the meat lipid stability, there was only an effect of interaction (P < 0.05) between type of packaging and storage time. The inclusion of 1000 mg/kg of MPEE provided greater meat lipid stability, enabling the use of common packaging for the storage of quail meat for up to 120 days.

Abstract
ABSTRACT The aim of the present study was the determination of Listeria monocytogenes, competitive microbiota, microbial hygiene indicators, and physicochemical parameters in the typical Mediterranean-style fermented sausages Salsiccia Sarda. A batch of Salsiccia Sarda (25 samples) naturally contaminated by L. monocytogenes and vacuum packaged after 24 days of ripening was included in the study. Fifteen samples stored at 8°C were analyzed after 13 days, after 90 days, and at the end of shelf life (after 180 days from vacuum packaging). Ten vacuum-packaged samples were stored at 12°C in a domestic fridge simulating temperature abuse and were evaluated at the end of the shelf life. Samples were subjected to physicochemical analysis (pH and water activity) and investigated for the presence and enumeration of L. monocytogenes. Competitive microbiota, lactic acid bacteria, coagulase-negative staphylococci, and microbial hygiene indicators (total mesophilic bacterial counts, Enterobacteriaceae, Enterococcuss spp., and Staphylococcus aureus) were determined in all the samples. Although a decreasing trend in L. monocytogenes prevalence was observed through the shelf life, the detection of this pathogen in fermented sausages confirms its ability to overcome hurdles of the manufacturing process. The results highlight the importance of the careful evaluation of the Salsiccia Sarda production process by food business operators to maintain unfavorable conditions for the growth of L. monocytogenes.

Abstract
Active packaging films based on gelatin with silver-kaolinite (Ag-Kln) were developed and their effects on the quality and microbial growth of beef meat stored in different packaging systems (cling film, vacuum and modified atmosphere packaging) at 4 °C for 13 days were evaluated. The analysis revealed that Ag-Kln packaging films had no adverse effects on the pH and colour of the beef samples irrespective of the packaging system used. Beef meat in packaging with active films lost more weight (P < 0.05) than without active films for meat in the vacuum and modified systems on day 13. In general, these gelatin films with Ag-Kln showed the potential as antibacterial films and could enhance the shelf life of food products, however, further studies are required to establish the release rate of silver from packaging films, as well as test the efficiency of these materials under different storage conditions. In conclusion, this study revealed that gelatin film with silver-kaolinite is a promising antibacterial agent and preservation material for food shelf life extension.

Abstract
The use of protective cultures to inhibit spoilage bacteria is a promising natural preservation technique to extend the shelf-life of fresh meat. This study evaluated the effectiveness of six food-grade protective cultures (containing different combinations of Lactobacillus sakei, Pediococcus pentosaceus, Staphylococcus xylosus, and Staphylococcus carnosus) on naturally contaminated chill-stored (4 °C) lamb meat in different packaging systems. Only slight reductions of common meat spoilage bacteria Brochothrix thermosphacta, Pseudomonas spp., and Enterobacteriaceae were observed in culture-treated samples stored in modified atmosphere packaging (80% O2:20% CO2). Greater inhibitory effects were found in vacuum-packed lamb, with mixed cultures containing either L. sakei, S. carnosus, and S. xylosus or S. carnosus and L. sakei causing the most significant reductions. Protective cultures did not adversely affect meat color or pH. This study demonstrated the potential of protective cultures comprising lactic acid bacteria and coagulase-negative staphylococci in controlling microbial spoilage of lamb and, by inference, other types of meat as a natural solution for shelf-life extension.

Abstract
The effects of vacuum package combined with 0.1% ε-polylysine and 0.2% rosemary extract (V + RP) on the quality attributes and microbial communities of large yellow croaker (Pseudosciaena crocea) during ice storage were investigated. The quality was evaluated by chemical characteristics (total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), K-value and biogenic amines (BAs)), microbiological indexes (Total viable counts (TVC), Shewanella bacteria counts, Pseudomonas bacteria counts, Psychrophilic bacteria counts (PBC)), changes in microbial composition were analyzed using high-throughput sequencing. Results showed that the increase of TVB-N, K-value, microorganisms and BAs could be inhibited by V + RP. Psychrobacter and Pseudomonas were detected in all samples. Shewanella increases rapidly in the middle of storage. Vagococcus and Shewanella were related to the decomposition of ATP, the formation of BAs, and TVB-N, respectively. In conclusion, V + RP presented the optimal effects, which could extend the shelf life of large yellow croaker for another 9 days compared with the control.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the combined effect of chitosan dip (1% w/v) and vacuum packaging on the shelf life of fresh chicken burgers packaged in LDPE/PA/LDPE bags and stored at 4 ± 1 °C for up to 12 days. Furthermore, the possible correlation among microbiological, physico-chemical and sensory indices was investigated. Burger treatments included: aerobic packaging (AP, control), vacuum packaging (VP), chitosan dipping (CHI), and vacuum packaging plus chitosan dipping (VP + CHI). Microbiological [Total viable count (TVC), Pseudomonas spp., Brochothrix thermosphacta, Enterobacteriaceae, Lactic acid bacteria (LAB)], physicochemical [color, pH, total volatile basic Nitrogen (TVB-N), and Thiobarbituric acid (TBA)] and sensory (odor, taste, and texture) analyses were carried out. Results showed that the majority of microbiological, physico-chemical, and sensory analysis parameters varied significantly (p < 0.05) depending on treatment. Based primarily on sensory, followed by microbiological and physico-chemical data, the shelf life of chicken burgers was 4 days for AP samples, 8 days for VP samples, 10 days for CHI treated samples, and 12 days for the VP + CHI treated samples. Finally, a positive and significant correlation (p < 0.05) was observed among most microbiological, sensory, and physico-chemical data, introducing new data relating initial TVC to TVB-N values regarding alternative treatments of minced chicken meat for its optimum preservation.

Abstract
Fresh (acid coagulated) cheeses belong to a group of soft unripen cheeses which are very popular among consumers. However, owing to the specific composition and properties, these cheeses have a limited shelf life. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) onto fresh cheese and to compare it with the commonly used packaging under atmospheric air and vacuum. The produced fresh cheese was packed under normal atmosphere (air), vacuum and modified atmosphere of following composition: (1) 60%N2:40%CO2; (2) 70%N2:30%CO2. All cheese samples were cool stored for 18 days, whereby the sampling and analyses were conducted every 3 days. During the storage period, there was a continuous decrease in acidity (from 4.66 to 4.47), while the viable counts of the monitored microorganisms increased in the control sample. However, in samples packaged under vacuum and modified atmosphere a slighter decrease in acidity (no result under 4.50) and inhibited microbiological growth were detected. Scores of sensory evaluations were high for all samples (17.63-19.73), whereby the sample packed under MAP with ratio 70%CO2:30%N2 obtained the best average score of 17.72 at the end of the 18-day storage period. Other analyses confirmed that vacuum and MAP prolong the shelf life of fresh cheese while preserving its physico-chemical and sensory characteristics.

Abstract
During storage of vacuum packaged chilled beef (VPCB), lactic acid bacteria become the dominant microflora, facilitating an extended shelf life. However, at some point, (bio)chemical and organoleptic changes render the meat unacceptable. In this investigation we evaluated volatile and non-volatile metabolite changes in VPCB after 84-, 98-, 120- and 140-days storage at ~ - 1 °C. After 140-days storage, the sensory, volatile and non-volatile data did not indicate spoilage. Minimal changes in volatile signatures of collected weep and on raw and grilled steaks were measured. Changes in selected non-volatile components indicated increased proteolysis (free amino acids, carnosine) and changes in organic acids (lactic, succinic) and nucleotide metabolism. Rapid volatile profiling using proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry showed a clear progression of changes in selected compounds over the storage period. An increased concentration of ethanol and other compounds between 120 and 140 days, suggested that volatile changes may be a useful objective indicator of extended storage VPCB quality.

Abstract
The effect of polyethylene packaging (PEP) in air cushion and vacuum packaging (VP) on histamine related to the quality of Japanese Spanish mackerel (JS mackerel) was studied with samples stored at -20, 4, 15, and 25°C. The aerobic plate count (APC), total volatile basic nitrogen (TVBN), and histamine concentrations of the PEP and VP samples stored at 25°C increased as the storage time continued. The PEP and VP samples stored at temperatures below 15°C showed lower levels of APC, TVBN, and histamine, with VP samples having considerably lower levels of APC, TVBN, and histamine than PEP samples. For the frozen JS mackerel stored at -20°C for 2 months and then thawed and stored at 25°C, the VP treatment delayed the increases of TVBN and histamine longer than did the PEP treatment. Thus, the storage of VP JS mackerel at temperatures below 4°C could prevent quality deterioration and extend shelf life.

Abstract
Arbitrary microbiological limits or noticeable organoleptic decline are mainly used to define the shelf life of vacuum packaged chilled beef (VPCB). Excellent temperature control is critical to enable a long shelf life. The robustness of export supply chains was tested by sending Australian VPCB (striploins) to three Chinese destinations and a CONTROL (Brisbane, Australia) treatment (~-1 °C). Data loggers monitored temperature during storage and meat biochemistry (pH, color, weep), aerobic plate counts, lactic acid bacteria, total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) and sensory changes were measured 84, 98, 120 and 140 days postslaughter. Temperature was generally well maintained and sensory scores were not indicative of spoilage. Microbial counts did not increase from 84 to 140 days, however TVB-N increased with time and was a better predictor of sensory attributes. TVB-N was below the limit of 15 mg/100 g in all CONTROL samples but most Chinese samples exceeded this value. This study demonstrated that extended shelf life is feasible with excellent temperature control.

Abstract
Some microbiological criteria were monitored for 6 months in vacuum-packaged roast beef (15 production batches), raw beef (10 batches), and other meat products (12 batches) produced in an Italian small to medium-size enterprise. Fifty-five environmental swab samples also were analyzed. The main bacterial groups were identified by cultural methods according to International Organization for Standardization standards. Listeria monocytogenes was enumerated with the most-probable-number protocol, and species identification was confirmed with a specific PCR assay. Immediately after vacuum packaging, all ready-to-eat (RTE) products had low mean aerobic colony counts (<102 to 2.4 × 102 CFU g-1), anaerobic colony counts (1.6 to 6.5 × 101 CFU g-1), Enterobacteriaceae counts (1.1 to 1.4 × 101 CFU g-1), and Escherichia coli counts (generally below the detection limit). Nevertheless, the prevalence of L. monocytogenes in these samples was 3.7%. In roast beef samples, the aerobic and anaerobic colony counts reached unacceptable levels (>106 CFU g-1) after 14 days of refrigerated storage. Because the prevalence of L. monocytogenes increased to 13.3% during storage, a substantial reduction in the shelf life of these products is recommended. Surfaces without direct contact with food (floors and drains) had the highest mean counts for aerobic colonies (8.0 × 103 to 9.5 × 105 CFU/cm2), anaerobic colonies (2.9 × 103 to 3.2 × 104 CFU/cm2), Enterobacteriaceae (1.5 × 101 to 8.4 × 101 CFU/cm2), and E. coli (6.0 to 7.7 CFU/cm2). The levels of L. monocytogenes on direct food contact surfaces were below the detection limit, but more than 25% of floor samples were contaminated. These results reveal the persistence of L. monocytogenes in food processing environments, although at very low levels, posing a high risk of postcooking recontamination for RTE products. To improve hygienic conditions and reduce cross-contamination, an increase in operator awareness and a reassessment of surface sanitization protocols are needed.

Abstract
To improve the quality of modified atmosphere (60% CO2/15% O2/25% N2)-packaged or vacuum-packaged bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) chunks, an edible film containing whey protein isolates (WPI) were added. During storage at 2 °C, the samples coated with WPI prior to packaging exhibited slower microbial growth, thiobarbituric acid (TBA), and total volatile basic-nitrogen (TVB-N) values than did those without films. On comparing the two formulations of WPI with 4 and 8% (v/v) glycerol, it was observed that WPI containing 8% glycerol induced more severe weight loss but retarded the lipid oxidation more effectively. The usage of WPI films with 8% glycerol is proved to be helpful to enhance the effect of modified atmosphere packaging on the quality of tuna, as the samples (MAP-2) displayed the lowest bacterial counts (3.63 log CFU/g) and TBA (0.349 mg malondialdehyde (MDA)/kg) and TVB-N (12.94 mg N/100 g) contents.

Abstract
The present study was aimed to investigate the combined effects of vacuum packaging and mint extract treatment on the quality changes of gutted Indian mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta) during storage at 0-2 °C for 22 days. Biochemical, total viable count and sensory quality of chill stored mackerel were analysed at periodic intervals. Mint extract treated [dipping in 0.5% (w/v) solution of mint extract for 30 min] and vacuum packed fishes (MEVP) had significantly lower total volatile base nitrogen and trimethyl amine nitrogen compared to those packed under vacuum (CVP) and air (CAP) without mint extract treatment. Nucleotide degradation rate was lower in MEVP followed by CVP and CAP. Vacuum packaging in combination with ME treatment significantly inhibited lipid hydrolysis and lipid oxidation in mackerel as observed from its lower free fatty acid, peroxide value and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances values. Synergistic use of mint extract and vacuum packaging has markedly controlled microbial proliferation in the samples. Based on sensory evaluation, shelf life of Indian mackerel stored at 0-2 °C was determined as 13 days for CAP group, 16 days for CVP group and 21 days for MEVP group, respectively. The present study revealed that combination of vacuum packaging and mint extract treatment can be a promising technology to improve the storage quality of chill stored gutted mackerel.

Abstract
This study evaluates the potential of using non-irradiated barrier-shrink bags containing ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH), polyamide (PA) and ethylene ionomer in their structures to preserve vacuum-packaged fresh beef as an alternative to traditional gamma-ray cross-linked bags containing polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC). Boneless beef rib eye roll cuts were vacuum-packed in an industrial processing plant using EVOH 44% mol, EVOH 32% mol and a control PVDC barrier shrink bags. The cuts were evaluated during storage at 0.5°C. The EVOH films presented similar performance compared to control PVDC barrier shrink bags related to bacteria growth and purge loss. Packages with EVOH 32% mol film presented better performance than control bag with respect to the meat sensorial attributes, including fewer bubbles and better adhesion. EVOH 44% mol bags presented the highest rate of colour loss. The EVOH 32% mol non-irradiated and chlorine-free film is as effective for the preservation of fresh beef as traditional PVDC-irradiated shrink bags.

Abstract
The effect of edible coating using gum arabic on biochemical, microbiological, textural and sensory characteristics of fresh gutted mackerel stored at 4 °C was investigated. The results were further compared against the samples packed under vacuum (VP) and conventional polyethylene pouches (CP). Coating with gum arabic (GC) markedly retarded lipid oxidation process in gutted mackerel compared to VP and CP samples. Moreover, VP and CP samples showed higher degree of textural deterioration compared to GC samples. Microbiologically, the shelf life of chilled gutted Indian mackerel was estimated to be 7-8, 17 and 19-20 days for CP, GC and VP samples, respectively. The sensory analysis scores confirmed the efficacy of gum coating in retarding the spoilage process during chilled storage. The current study identifies the potential of edible coating with gum arabic to improve the overall quality of Indian mackerel and extend its storage life during chilled storage.

Abstract
Wet cured pork hams were inoculated with a mixed starter cultures comprising of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Micrococcus varians M483 at the dose level of 106 cfu/g and the un inoculated hams served as controls. The amino acid profile of hams of the treated and the control groups stored at 4oC under MAP and VP and evaluated on 60th day of storage revealed that treated hams liberated higher concentration of free amino acids except for proline and methionine which were found in higher concentration (P < 0.01) in the MAP control samples. The MAP control samples liberated glutamic acid (85.65 ± 1.40 ppm), cystine (21.56 ± 1.14 ppm) and tyrosine (16.63 ± 1.94 ppm) whereas, the treated samples did not release these amino acids. The VP control samples too liberated cystine (6.98 ± 1.36 ppm) and arginine (42.70 ± 2.78 ppm) but the treated ham of the VP did not liberate these amino acids. The VP hams had higher concentration (P < 0.01) of free proline, glycine, alanine, valine, methionine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, lysine and histidine than the MAP samples. Colour analysis of ham using CIE Lab colour system revealed that the treated samples had significantly higher concentrations of L*, a* and b* components. The L* and a* values were higher in the MAP than under VP systems while the b* values were higher in the VP samples than the MAP samples. Neither the bacterial cultures nor the packaging system influenced the textural property of ham. Starter cultures inoculated hams were rated superior (P < 0.05) in terms of their sensory properties. Hams packaged under MAP were rated superior (P < 0.05) than those packaged under VP in terms of appearance, colour, taste, tenderness, flavour, juiciness and overall acceptability.

Abstract
Investigations were carried out to study the influence of vacuum packaging and long term storage on quality in red chilli. Chilli fruits were stored in vacuum packed and jute bags at two moisture levels (10 % and 12 %) in room and cold environments under both light and dark conditions for a period of 24 months. During storage period, average room and cool chamber temperatures were 25 ± 2 °C and 4 ± 1 °C, respectively. Changes of moisture (Halogen moisture analyzer), capsaicin (HPLC-UV), oleoresin and total extractable colour (spectrophotometer) were analyzed at 3 months interval up to 12 months and 6 months interval from 12 to 24 months. Statistical analysis (ANOVA) and Duncan's test were applied to the analytical data to evaluate the effect of treatments applied. It was observed that the vacuum packed chillies under cold storage were found to have the least per cent decline in various quality parameters. Chillies with 12 % moisture and stored in vacuum packaged bags recorded better quality parameters over 10 % moisture.

Abstract
The effect of vacuum packaging and pomegranate peel extract on ground goat meat and cooked nuggets during refrigerated storage (4 ± 1 °C) was evaluated. Three different treatments evaluated were: I). Aerobic packaging (AP); II) Vacuum packaging (VP) and III). Vacuum packaging along with 1 % pomegranate peel extract (VP + PPE). Results of quality evaluation showed that VP and VP + PPE maintained a more stable colour than AP. In all treatments, a significant (P < 0.05) increase in hardness and gumminess of nuggets was observed during the storage. But, VP nuggets showed minimum changes in texture parameters. TBARS values were significantly (P < 0.05) lower in VP and VP + PPE than AP. In ground meat, VP reduced the TBARS by 27 % and PPE reduced the TBARS by 41 %. In nuggets, TBARS was decreased by 17 % and 40 % in VP and VP + PPE respectively. Total plate counts were significantly higher (>log 7) in AP than VP meat and nuggets. Thus VP and PPE have a synergistic antioxidant effect and VP extended the refrigerated shelf life of goat meat and nuggets.

Abstract
Cooked buffalo tripe rolls prepared from a combination of buffalo tripe and buffalo meat by using mincing and blade tenderization process were stored at 4 ± 1 °C in polyethylene teraphthalate laminated with polythene (PET/PE) pouches under vacuum packaging condition. The samples were evaluated for physico-chemical parameters, microbial quality and sensory attributes at regular intervals of 0, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days of storage. Significant changes were seen in physico-chemical, microbial and sensory characteristics of BTRs during storage at refrigeration temperature (4 ± 1 °C) under vacuum packaging condition. All microbial counts were well within the acceptable limits and the products did not show any signs of spoilage. Thus, BTRs prepared by mincing or BT can be best stored up to 28 days at 4 ± 1 °C under vacuum packaging.

Abstract
Shelf stable ready to eat spiced pickle type buffalo meat product was prepared after desorbing in infusion solution (glycerol 3.5%, sodium chloride 5.0%, honey2.0%, mango powder 2.2%, spices 1.0%, sodium nitrite 0.015%, phosphate 0.2%, Sorbic acid 0.2%.and acetic acid 1%), pressure cooking of meat in infusion solution for 20 min followed by frying for 2 min in mustard oil and mixing with prefried condiments and spices. The physico-chemical properties i.e. pH, water activity, proximate composition, FFA, Soluble hydroxyproline, TBA values, nitrite content, protein solubility, shear force value, haempigments, microbiological and sensory quality of the product remained good and hygienically safe and almost comparable in aerobic PET jars and multilayered nylon barrier pouches stored at 30 ± 3 °C for 7 weeks .It can be suggested that storage of such product may be conveniently done even in food grade PET jars without going for vacuum packaging which is a bit costly.

Abstract
This study evaluated effects of modified atmosphere (MAP, 0.4% carbon monoxide [CO], 30% carbon dioxide, and 69.6% nitrogen), vacuum (VP) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) packaging systems and fat levels (10, 20 and 30% fat) on ground beef stored at 4 ± 1°C for 25 days for microbiology, sensory, pH, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), objective color, headspace and residual CO. As storage time increased, pH decreased (P< 0.05) for MAP and VP and increased (P < 0.05) for PVC. TBARS varied (P < 0.05) among MAP and VP treatments. Except for day 1, CO headspace concentrations were similar among fat concentrations, and residual CO absorption in meat increased (P < 0.05) for all MAP treatments. In all treatments, degree of lightness was similar, redness decreased and brown discoloration increased during storage. As psychrotrophic bacteria counts increased, panelists detected color and off-odor deterioration in all systems. The CO treatment had no effect on maintaining the carboxymyoglobin "cherry red" fresh meat color during meat spoilage.

Abstract
The effect of vacuum packaging technique on the shelflife of eviscerated pabda catfish (Ompok pabda) during chill storage at 4 ± 2 °C was studied. The shelflife of pabda fish was predicted based on the cumulative observations of biochemical, microbiological and sensory parameters. There was no significant difference in the lipid quality parameters studied between the samples during the chill storage period, whereas, vacuum packaging significantly improved the sensory and microbiological quality. Based on microbiological parameters such as Total Viable Count, Enterobacteriaceae, Escherichia coli, Salmonella Spp, total Vibrios, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, faecal Streptococcus and anaerobic sulphite reducers, the shelflife of chilled gutted pabda catfish was estimated to be 14-16 and 18-20 days for air packed and vacuum packed samples, respectively. The sensory parameters showed extended shelflife by four more days for both the samples.

Abstract
Studies were carried out to find out the influence of vacuum packaging on physical parameters of whole chilli and biochemical constituents in chilli seeds. Chilli fruits were stored in vacuum packed and jute bags stored at room temperature (25 ± 2 °C), cold storage (4 ± 1 °C) under both light and dark conditions for a period of 24 months. At the end of the storage period, seeds were separated from fruits and various parameters viz., moisture content, capsaicin content, ascorbic acid, carbohydrates, protein and mineral elements like Fe, P, Na and K were analyzed. It was observed that the samples stored in vacuum packed bags maintained the quality with least deterioration in all the quality parameters compared to samples stored in jute bags.

Abstract
Paneer tikka, a popular dish for vegetarians, is a tongue tingling favourite of Indian gourmets. It is a perishable commodity which requires more than five hours for its preparation. The shelf life of paneer tikka is hardly one day at room temperature which impedes its proper marketing. In order to enhance the shelf life of paneer tikka, the product was vacuum packed in two high barrier packages, viz., LLDPE(*)/BA(†)/Nylon-6/BA/LDPE(‡) (110 μ, (*)linear low density polyethylene, (†)binding agent, (‡)low density polyethylene) and metallized polyester/LDPE (20/75 μ) along with LDPE (100 μ) as control, and stored at 3 ± 1 °C. The stored samples were evaluated at 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 day(s) for changes in chemical characteristics, namely moisture, pH, titratable acidity, free fatty acids content, tyrosine content and water activity. The analysis of variance of the data revealed that type of packages had significant influence on all the above parameters excluding water activity during storage of paneer tikka.
