Summary

The effects of vacuum packaging, of carcass cooling rate and of the thickness of surface fat on the colour parameters L, a, and b of beef were assessed during ageing at 2 deg C. The duration of ageing affected all the colour parameters, whereas the cooling rate influenced only the L and b values, which depend on the thickness of surface fat.
