Summary

THIRTY RED DEER (CERVUS ELAPHUS) STAGS WERE SLAUGHTERED TO DETERMINE THE EFFECTS OF INITIAL MICROBIAL FLORA ON THE QUALITY OF CHILLED VENISON LOINS STORED USING 3 PACKAGING METHODS: VACUUM PACKAGING, MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE PACKAGING USING AN ULTRA-HIGH BARRIER OUTER BARRIER FILM (CO2 -UHB), AND MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE PACKAGING USING A DUAL ALUMINIZED POLYETHYLENE OUTER BARRIER FILM (CO2 -MPET). VACUUM PACKAGED VENISON LOINS RESULTED IN MEAT OF ACCEPTABLE QUALITY AFTER 12 AND 18 WEEKS OF CHILLED STORAGE ; MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE PACKAGING CONTRIBUTED NO ADDITIONAL BENEFIT.
