The longissimus thoracis et lumborum (LL), and adductor femoris (AF) muscles from 39 castrated, 23 (±1) month old huacaya alpacas were used to determine vitamin E content and the impact on lipid oxidation levels. At 24 h post death the LL and AF muscles were removed and sampled for meat quality analysis and subjected to simulated retail display. Vitamin E content of either muscle had no significant impact on colour stability or oxidation traits during retail display. This is thought to be due to the high levels of vitamin E (>5.4 mg/kg) in both muscles. Lipid oxidation levels were 0.2 mg MDA/kg higher in both muscles post retail display. However, overall differences in TBARS levels detected pre and post display were very low (<1.19 mg MDA/kg) and well below sheep threshold values of >3 mg MDA/kg. The mechanism behind why alpaca meat has such high vitamin E levels compared to other species requires further investigation.

This study evaluated the impact of high oxygen modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) in four different combinations, 80 % oxygen and 20 % carbon dioxide (MAP80), 40 % oxygen, 20 % carbon dioxide and 40 % nitrogen (MAP40(20CO)), 40 % oxygen, 60 % carbon dioxide (MAP40(60CO)), and vacuum skin packaging (VSP) under different retail display times (3 or 8 days) on the sensory scores of lamb meat. Untrained consumer sensory scores for overall liking, tenderness, juiciness and liking of flavour were assessed on the M. longissimus lumborum (loin) and M.
