Summary

BEEF LOINS ARE EITHER HUNG IN AIR FOR ONE WEEK, OR VACUUM PACKED FOR 1 TO 3 WEEKS. DURING STORAGE AT 274 AND 279 K (1 AND 6 DEG C) INVESTIGATIONS ARE CARRIED OUT INTO CHANGES IN MICROFLORA, COLOUR, ODOUR AND RANCIDITY OF STEAKS CONDITIONED IN A MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE. THE STEAKS FROM LOINS, WHICH HAVE UNDERGONE A THREE WEEK AGEING TREATMENT, LOSE COLOUR AND GIVE OFF-ODOURS MORE RAPIDLY THAN THE OTHERS. INSTABILITY DURING STORAGE OF THESE STEAKS CAN BE EXPLAINED BY HIGH BACTERIAL COUNTS WHICH DEVELOPED DURING AGEING. (Bibliogr. int. CDIUPA-CNRS, FR., 89-210-249307.
