Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess nitric oxide modified-atmosphere packaging (MAP) as a new alternative for preserving the color of ground beef compared to high oxygen (HI-OX) and carbon monoxide (CO) packaging.
- Throughout a 120-hour display period, various color metrics, myoglobin percentages, and chemical stability indicators were measured to determine the effects of each packaging type.
- While carbon monoxide showed the best results in maintaining redness and reducing discoloration, nitric oxide demonstrated a distinct color change cycle that suggests potential for future optimization, despite its performance being lower than CO.
