Summary

In this paper based on a literature overview, the role of modified and controlled atmospheres in the storage of fresh chilled meat was reported. Packaging materials and equipment used to prepare modified and controlled atmospheres in which meat is stored were presented. Particular attention was paid to preservative packaging of meat, such as vacuum packs, high oxygen modified atmosphere packs, low-oxygen modified atmosphere packs and controlled atmosphere packs. The use of preservative packaging with commercial products such as beef, pork and poultry, including the specificity of different kinds of fresh meat, microbial spoilage, and deterioration of meat colour and storage temperature, was discussed.
