Summary

The effect of an advanced vacuum skin packaging system on the microbiological and physicochemical properties of fresh retail cuts of beef (including meat portions from six different anatomical regions) stored at 4°C was compared with the effect of traditional vacuum packaging. Overall, the quality (as determined by microbiological and physicochemical analyses and by visual examination) of fresh retail cuts of beef packaged with the vacuum skin system and stored at 4°C was higher than that of meat samples processed with the traditional vacuum-packaging system.
