The packaging system is one of the factors influencing the preservation of the nutritional value, microbiological safety, and sensory attributes of meat. The study investigated changes in physicochemical and microbiological properties taking place during 15-day refrigerated storage of two calf muscles, the longissimus lumborum (LL) and semitendinosus (ST), packaged in three systems, respectively, vacuum packing (VP), modified atmosphere packaging (MAP, 80% O + 20% CO), and a combined system (VP + MAP, 8 d in VP followed by 7 d in MAP). LL and ST stored in VP had significantly lower levels of lipid oxidation, higher α-tocopherol content, and higher instrumentally measured tenderness in comparison with the samples stored in MAP.

- The study aimed to monitor vector-borne diseases in anaemic dogs arriving in Poland, especially those coming from areas with high disease prevalence due to migration and travel.
- It involved 497 dogs, primarily those from Ukraine, and used molecular biology methods to detect various pathogens.
- Results showed that 79 dogs tested positive for different infections, with the highest occurrences linked to dogs from Ukraine and those returning from Turkey, highlighting the need for ongoing disease monitoring in Poland.
The occurrence of the DFD defect shortens microbiological stability and reduces consumer acceptance of meat. The effect of a chokeberry leaf extract (ChLE) addition at concentrations of 0.01 %, 0.
