Quality of pork loin stored under different light intensity
The objective of the experiment was to study the influence of the intensity of light at the pork loins surface on their physicochemical and microbiological properties as a function of cold storage. Meat slices were packed in modified atmosphere packs (MAP: 80% O2 and 20% CO2) and stored in the darkn...
