Tański, Stanisław, and Bożena: The Quality of Modified Atmosphere Packaged Meat from Lambs Slaughtered at 50 and 100 Days of Age

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the quality of modified atmosphere (MA) packaged meat from Pomeranian rams slaughtered at 50 and 100 days of age. Determined: chemical composition, physicochemical and sensory properties of meat, and the fatty acid profile of intramuscular fat. Meat from 100-d-old lambs was characterized by a significantly higher content of dry matter, total protein and crude fat, a darker color and higher physiological maturity (p≤0.01). Meat from younger lambs was marked by a better water-holding capacity (p≤0.05), a lower energy value and higher concentrations of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). An increase in the content of dry matter, total protein and ash, and energy value was noted in MA-stored meat. Meat pH decreased over MA storage and the sensory properties deteriorated. The studied meat remained safe from microbial contamination during storage.

INTRODUCTION

Recent years have witnessed lifestyle and nutrition changes, accompanied by increasing consumer demand for high-quality, preservative-free meat products with a long shelf-life. Current trends show that consumers prefer fresh, easy-to-prepare food products in smaller portions. Protective atmosphere gases can be used to preserve the freshness of foods, including meat. Fresh primal or retail cuts can be packaged under a modified atmosphere (MA). In this process, the internal atmosphere surrounding a product is modified with a selection of gases neutral to food. MA prevents surface drying and the loss of vitamins and aroma compounds during storage (Doherty et al., 1996; Krala, 1996; Sheridan et al., 1997; Pikul, 2000; Bąk et al., 2001). The use of oxygen-free MA, composed of 20 to 30% CO2 and 70 to 80% N2, maximizes the shelf-life extension effect (Christopher et al., 1980; Weber and Höpke, 1980; Krala et al., 1995; Krala, 1999). The shelf-life of fresh lamb meat stored in MA may vary widely depending on the composition of gas mixtures. According to Rokni et al. (2001), MA packaged lamb meat is fit for human consumption for 13 days, according to Vergara and Gallego (2001) up to 17 days, according to Christopher et al. (1980) and Doherty et al. (1996a) up to 28 days or 43 days (1996b), while according to Penny et al. (1995) and Sheridan et al. (1997) as long as 7 to 8 weeks. For best results, MA packaged meat should be stored at low, near cryoscopic temperatures (0–4°C) causing the rate of chemical and microbial breakdown to slow (Krala, 1996; Kondratowicz and Bąk, 2001; Barrera et al., 2007). The effect of MA packaging on the shelf-life extension of lamb meat remains poorly investigated, and the few studies conducted to date have focused mostly on microbiological safety issues.
In view of the above, the objective of this study was to determine changes in the physicochemical and sensory properties of lamb meat during MA storage.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

The experiment was conducted in a herd of Pomeranian sheep, one of the main meat-type breeds in Poland. The experimental material comprised 32 single-born suckling male lambs, the offspring of 4-year-old ewes, born at the same time. The animals were fed standard diets recommended by INRA (1988). Until 10 days of age, the lambs were fed exclusively on their mothers’ milk. Starting from day 11, they received also meadow hay and CJ concentrate, followed by maize silage offered from day 30. The rams were slaughtered in accordance with the method recommended by the National Research Institute of Animal Production (Krupiński, 2009). 16 animals were slaughtered at 50 days of age and average body weight of 17.98 kg, and the remaining 16 animals were slaughtered at 100 days of age and average body weight of 28.01 kg. Samples for meat quality assessment were collected from M. quadriceps femoris of the right leg after 18 to 24 h of carcass chilling at 4°C. The samples were divided into four equal groups. Those intended for MA storage were placed in trays and were packaged in polyamide/polyethylene (PA/PE) bags using the Tepro PP-5 vacuum packer. The PA/PE bags were characterized by the following gas permeability at a temperature of 23°C: 16–19 cm3/cm2/24 h for O2, 100–130 cm/cm2/24 h for CO2, 3–5 g/m2/24 h for N2 and 2–3 g/m2/24 h for water vapor (Michniewicz, 1998). 99% of atmospheric air was removed from the bags, and a gas mixture composed of 80% N2 and 20% CO2 was injected. The samples were stored in a chilling room with forced ventilation, at 1±0.5°C, for 10, 20 and 30 days. The quality of fresh meat, stored for approximately 48 h at 4°C, and MA stored meat was compared. The following parameters were determined: dry matter - by drying at 105°C, total protein - by the Kjeldahl method, crude fat - by the Soxhlet method, crude ash - by incineration at 550°C, gross energy - using a KL-10 adiabatic bomb calorimeter, water-holding capacity - by the filter paper press method of Grau and Hamm (1953), color brightness - using a Specol spectrometer and an R45/O remission attachment, at a wavelength of 560 nm, pH - using a Radiometer PHM 22 pH-meter, fatty acid composition of intramuscular fat - by esterification (Peisker, 1964) followed by gas chromatography using a VARIAN CP-3800 chromatograph, at the following separation conditions: flame ionization detector FID, capillary column - length: 50 m, internal diameter: 0.25 mm, liquid phase - CP-Sil 88, film thickness - 0.25 μm, carrier gas - helium, flow rate - 1.2 ml/min. The sensory properties of cooked meat (Baryłko-Pikielna, 1975), i.e. tenderness, juiciness, aroma (intensity and desirability) and taste (intensity and desirability), were assessed on a five-point scale. The microbial contamination of MA stored meat was also evaluated. For that purpose, sterile muscle samples were collected before MA packaging and immediately after opening the MA package, in accordance with PN-EN ISO 4833:2004.
The results were processed statistically by two-way analysis of variance, including age of lambs (50 and 100 d) and MA storage period (10, 20 and 30 d). The significance of differences between groups was verified with Duncan’s test using Statistica 9.0 SoftCorp, Software.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Both the age of lambs at slaughter (50 and 100 d) and MA storage period (10, 20 and 30 d) had a significant effect on the chemical composition and selected physicochemical properties of meat (Table 1). Meat from 100-d-old lambs was characterized by a higher content of dry matter, total protein and crude fat (p≤0.01), compared with meat from lambs slaughtered at 50 days of age, which is consistent with the findings of Brzostowski et al. (1997) and Brzostowski and Tański (2008), who studied Kamieniec lambs and Pomeranian lambs, respectively. An increase in the concentrations of the above components in meat from older lambs contributed to a significantly higher energy value and physiological maturity of meat, estimated based on the water/protein (W/P) ratio (p≤0.01). Higher values of the W/P ratio (known as the Feder index) point to higher physiological maturity of meat from older lambs (3.83), compared with meat from younger lambs (4.18). Such a correlation has also been noted by Kaczor et al. (2000), Brzostowski and Tański (2008), and Tański et al. (2009). An increase in the protein and fat content of meat, accompanied by a decrease in water content, contribute to its higher physiological maturity (Tański, 2006), which was confirmed by the values of the water/fat ratio in lambs slaughtered at 50 and 100 days of age (54.34 and 41.38, respectively). Meat from younger lambs had a better water-holding capacity and it was lighter in color (p≤0.01) than meat from older lambs. The effect of age at slaughter on the water-holding capacity of lamb meat has also been observed by Grześkowiak et al. (2002). Meat from older lambs had a significantly darker color due to a higher hemoglobin content which resulted from more intensive work of their muscles during rearing. The correlation between meat color and age at slaughter in lambs has also been reported by Brzostowski et al. (1997), Grumbach et al. (2001), Grześkowiak et al. (2002) and Tański (2006). An analysis of the physicochemical properties of lamb meat stored under MA showed that prolonged storage led to an increase in dry matter and total protein concentrations, acidity, energy value and W/P ratio. The color of meat became lighter and its water-holding capacity decreased. Significant changes in the content of dry matter and total protein, energy value, physiological maturity and water-holding capacity were observed as soon as after 10-d storage in MA (p≤0.05). The noted changes became more pronounced after 20 d (p≤ 0.01). Between d 20 and 30 of MA storage, the analyzed parameters changed inconsiderably, except for a further significant increase in acidity and a decrease in the W/P ratio. The majority of changes resulted from natural drip loss. An increase in the content of dry matter and other components during long-term storage under modified atmosphere conditions has been also noted by Kondratowicz and Bąk (1999) in pork, and by Krala (1996) in poultry. An increase in meat acidity (a drop in pH) over storage may result from the progress of glycolysis, the accumulation of acidic metabolites, mostly lactic acid, and the solubility of CO2 in meat. According to Bąk et al. (2001), Słowiński and Maciejewska (2003), CO2 absorbed by meat forms carbonic acid, thus contributing to a drop in the pH of meat and its lighter color. Residual oxygen may be left in the package after atmospheric air is removed and the bag is flushed with N2 and CO2. According to Krala (1999), residual oxygen left in MA packages with high CO2 concentrations supports the maintenance of the attractive color of meat. The values of the analyzed physicochemical properties of lamb meat suggest that its quality remained high throughout the storage period.
The fatty acid composition of intramuscular fat (Table 2) was significantly affected by the slaughter age of lambs, and only minimally by the period of MA storage. The intramuscular fat of lambs slaughtered at 50 days of age had higher concentrations of the following fatty acids: C12:0, C14:0, C15:0, C20:0, C18:1, C20:1, C18:2, C18:3, C20:4, (p≤0.01), and a lower content of C18:0 (p≤0.01) and C16:iso (p≤0.05), compared with the intramuscular fat of lambs slaughtered at 100 days of age. The differences in the concentrations of individual fatty acids in lamb meat had a significant influence on the proportions of unsaturated and saturated fatty acids (Table 2). The intramuscular fat of lambs slaughtered at 50 days of age, in comparison with the intramuscular fat of lambs slaughtered at 100 days of age, contained lower amounts of SFA (p≤0.05) and higher quantities of MUFA and PUFA (p≤0.01), considered essential fatty acids that should be included in a healthy, well-balanced diet. As demonstrated by Borys and Borys (2001), the nutritional value of meat is determined by the ratio of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids in intramuscular fat. Therefore, from the perspective of human nutrition, meat from younger lambs delivers more health benefits than meat from older lambs. Undesirable age- and weight-related changes in the fatty acid profile of intramuscular fat in lambs have also been reported by Radzik-Rant (1999), Cifini et al. (2000) and Borys et al. (2003). The nutritional value of meat is affected by the PUFA/SFA ratio which should oscillate around 0.45 (Simopoulos, 2004). In the present study, the PUFA/SFA ratio was lower and similar to the value given by Zapletal et al. (2010) for 150-d-old lambs. An age-related decrease in the PUFA/SFA ratio has been previously observed in lambs by Brzostowski et al. (2006) and Brzostowski and Tański (2006).
An analysis of the sensory properties of meat (Table 3) shows that meat from lambs slaughtered at 50 days of age received slightly higher scores for the majority of attributes, in comparison with meat from lambs slaughtered at 100 days of age, and significant differences were noted between groups with respect to taste intensity (p≤0.05). The period of MA storage had no significant effect on aroma intensity, aroma desirability and taste intensity, while prolonged storage led to a decrease in the other parameters. During 30-d storage under MA, the scores for the following sensory attributes of lamb meat decreased: taste desirability - from 4.70 to 4.44 points (p≤0.05), tenderness - from 4.55 to 4.35 points (p≤0.01), juiciness - from 4.60 to 4.44 points (p≤0.01). The greatest changes took place between day 20 and 30 of MA storage, when the scores for taste desirability, tenderness and juiciness decreased by 0.15, 0.13 and 0.11 points, respectively. The sensory quality of lamb meat stored under MA was considerably affected by biochemical processes and weight loss. According to Krala (1999), the juiciness of MA packaged meat decreases due to reduced water-holding capacity and interactions between myofibril proteins, water and fat, whereas meat tenderness deteriorates due to an increase in acidity. A close correlation between the pH and tenderness of meat has been reported by Guignot et al. (1994) and Krala (1999). If MA packaged meat products were evaluated based on sensory characteristics, the quality of the studied lamb meat would be considered very good and good over a storage period of 20 and 30 d, respectively. As regards the microbiological quality of meat from lambs slaughtered at 50 and 100 days of age (Figure 1), mesophilic counts were low, at 4.47 log10 CFU/g and 4.45 log10 CFU/g, respectively, which indicates that the meat intended for MA packaging was fresh, chilled and had a desirable pH. Mesophilic microflora proliferated during storage, and the counts of mesophilic microorganisms remained insignificantly higher in the muscles of younger lambs. After 10 days of MA storage, bacterial counts increased to 5.22 and 5.21 log10 CFU/g in meat from younger and older lambs, respectively. After 30 days, the respective values reached 6.17 log10 CFU/g and 6.09 log10 CFU/g. Meat from lambs slaughtered at 50 days of age contained more water, was more delicate and had finer muscle fibers, which is why it was more prone to bacterial contamination than meat from lambs slaughtered at 100 days of age. The slower proliferation rate of mesophilic bacteria between day 10 and 20 of MA storage resulted from an increase in CO2 concentrations, which disturbed bacterial metabolism. Bacterial cells were unable to multiply rapidly, thus extending the shelf-life of meat. The total microbial counts determined in the analyzed lamb meat did not exceed the maximum permissible levels set at 5×106 CFU/g (6.7 log10) in Commission Regulation (EC) No. 2073/2005 on microbiological criteria food foodstuffs. Microbial contamination at a level of 7 to 8 log10 CFU/g (Krala et al., 1997; Jaremiah, 2001; Kreyenschmidt et al., 2002), manifested by the appearance of undesirable odors and slime formation, renders meat unfit for human consumption. None of the above symptoms were observed in any of the lamb meat samples analyzed in this study.

CONCLUSIONS

The following conclusions can be drawn from the present study which investigated the quality of meat from Pomeranian lambs slaughtered at 50 and 100 days of age, stored under MA (80% N2 and 20% CO2).
Meat from 100-d-old lambs was characterized by a higher content of dry matter, total protein and crude fat, a darker color and higher physiological maturity, compared with meat from 50-d-old lambs. Meat from lambs slaughtered at 50 days of age was marked by a better water-holding capacity, a lower energy value and higher concentrations of MUFA and PUFA in intramuscular fat.
An increase in the content of dry matter, total protein and energy was noted in MA-stored meat, in comparison with fresh meat. The observed changes were similar in meat from 100-d-old and 50-d-old lambs, and they became more pronounced after 20 days of storage.
The studied lamb meat received high scores for sensory properties, it remained safe from microbial contamination during storage and no changes were noted in the fatty acid profile of intramuscular fat. The above indicates that modified atmosphere packaging can be used for prolonging the shelf-life of fresh lamb meat up to 20 (very good results) or even 30 (good results) days.
