The effects of edible monolayer and bilayer chitosan-gelatin coatings on the weight loss, lipid oxidation, color preservation (display-life), and shelf-life of beef steaks during 10 days of retail display (at 4 °C; 12 h light/day) were evaluated. The edible coatings had a homogeneous crack-free surface, with the bilayer films being two times thicker than the monolayer coatings. During storage, the control samples had higher pH values and more weight loss (P < .05) than the coated ones. The coatings effectively retarded (P < .05) lipid oxidation and microbial growth (psychrotrophic bacteria, molds, and yeast), extending the shelf-life from 6 to 10 days. The coatings also significantly prevented metmyoglobin accumulation on the beef surface, as reflected in the maintenance of the CIE color indices and sensorial redness perception throughout storage. These effects were similar for both the monolayer and bilayer films, suggesting that chitosan-gelatin coatings could improve the shelf-life and display-life of beef during retail storage.

Prevalence of High Fat Sugar Salt Products, Labeling Characteristics, and Categories of Foods Sold within In-Store Restricted Areas: A Survey in 3 UK Supermarkets after the 2022 Implementation of the Food (Promotion and Placement) Regulations.
Curr Dev Nutr

School of Food Science and Nutrition, University of Leeds, Leeds, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom.
Background: Regulations restricting the promotion of some less-healthy products high in fat, sugar, or salt (HFSS) within "restricted areas" (RAs) of supermarkets came into force in October 2022 in England.
Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence of HFSS products and front-of-pack nutrition labeling (FOPNL) characteristics of foods sold within RAs in a sample of supermarket stores.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey of products in RAs in 3 supermarkets was undertaken from November 2022 to February 2023 using photographs, recording the display of FOPNL.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the extent of contamination in retail chicken carcasses within Alexandria, Egypt, while also identifying the specific serotypes present. The research addresses the scarcity of comprehensive data concerning distribution and its phenotypic attributes in chicken meat across the Alexandria Governorate. A total of sixty raw chicken carcass samples were randomly acquired from six different markets in Alexandria.

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.
