AFTER STORAGE, THE PRIMAL CUTS WERE EVALUATED VISUALLY FOR MUSCLE COLOR, FAT COVER APPEARANCE, OFF-ODOR, LEAN SURFACE DISCOLORATION AND OVERALL APPEARANCE. CUTS WERE EVALUATED AFTER 5 DAYS IN RETAIL SHOP. FEW SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PACKAGING TREATMENTS WERE FOUND DURING THE STORAGE PERIOD FOR RETAIL DISPLAY.
