Type of article: Article

Summary

GROUND PORK IS STORED AT 274 K (1 C) IN OXYGEN-AND CARBON DIOXIDE-ENRICHED ATMOSPHERES. HIGH O2 LEVELS (80 TO 100%) HAVE A LOWERING EFFECT ON MYOGLOBIN OXIDATION AND INCREASE THE TIMEREQUIRED FOR THE FORMATION OF METMYOGLOBIN. A 20% CO2 LEVEL CONSIDERABLY REDUCES THE OXIDATION RATE OF LIPIDS AND INCREASES THE TIME REQUIRED FOR REACHING A TBA INDEX EQUAL TO 5. TOCOPHEROL AND ASCORBIC ACID ARE EFFICACIOUS INHIBITING AGENTS FOR LIPIDIC OXIDATION BUT CITRIC ACID IS NOT. (Bull. bibliogr. CDIUPA, FR., 14, N.4, APR. 1980, 83, 142173.
