Abstract

This study investigated the effects of different modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) methods on the quality changes of beef (sirloin) during a 15-day storage period.Key indicators, including juice loss rate, pH, total number of colonies, total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) were measured to compare the quality changes of beef under four packaging conditions:vacuum packaging, nitrogen (N2) packaging, low-concentration carbon monoxide (10% CO), and high-concentration carbon monoxide (50% CO).Results showed that during storage, the pH of the beef initially decreased and then increased.Meanwhile, juice loss rate, TBARS values, TVB-N content, and total number of colonies all exhibited upward trends as the storage time extended.Comprehensive analysis of the changes in these indicators revealed that CO-based MAP demonstrated superior overall preservation effects compared to vacuum and N2 packaging.Specifically, CO MAP effectively slowed the oxidation of protein and fat in the beef, enhanced its water-holding capacity, and significantly inhibited microbial growth, metabolism, and glycolysis.These effects contributed to extended shelf life and improved storage quality of the beef.
