The aim of this study was to investigate the performance of ethanolic extract from Morus alba L. leaves (MLEE) in preserving chilled pork under retail conditions. The four treatments were 5 mg/mL sodium benzoate solution (SB), 1 mg/mL MLEE solution (high-concentration MLEE; HM), 0.5 mg/mL MLEE solution (low-concentration MLEE; LM), and 0 mg/mL MLEE solution (C). The quality characteristics, pH, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances values, metmyoglobin, total volatile basic nitrogen, and number of microbes of MLEE-treated chilled pork stored at 4 °C for 9 days were consistent with those obtained by the SB treatment and lower than those obtained by the C treatment. Sensory analyses showed that treatment of pork with MLEE did not have a negative impact on its sensory characteristics. MLEE can extend the shelf life of chilled pork from 3 days to 6 days (9 days) in first-class (second-class) fresh meat. Results suggest that MLEE could be a candidate resource in the preservation of chilled pork.

Article Synopsis
- - The study assesses pathogenic bacteria prevalence in raw livestock meat (pork, beef, mutton) in China for 2021, with a focus on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to inform public health and food safety practices.
- - Out of 2,515 meat samples, contamination rates were highest in pork for certain pathogens, with specific prevalence noted in chilled and frozen meat compared to fresh.
- - The study found high overall resistance rates in bacteria isolated from meat, with ampicillin and tetracycline showing the most significant resistance among the tested antimicrobial agents.

Flavonoids, a significant subclass of polyphenols, possess antioxidant properties and contribute to the preservation of chilled meat. In this paper, a phosphate buffer solution (pH = 6.25, simulated chilled pork) and a Fenton oxidation system (simulated myofibrillar protein oxidation process during storage) were established to explain the antioxidative preservation of chilled pork using peanut shell flavonoids (PSFs).

In order to solve the problem of poor adhesion of polysaccharide coatings in meat storage and inconvenient secondary spraying, which leads to poor preservation effect, this study was inspired by the property of mussels to adhere firmly to surfaces and design a bioactive composite coating. Here, curcumin-loaded zein nanoparticles (CZ NPs) were successfully prepared and incorporated into carrageenan-based biocomposite coatings for chilled meat preservation. The prepared curcumin-zein-riboflavin-carrageenan (CZRC) coating featured smooth spherical morphology and the solubility of hydrophobic substances, the adhesion and stability of the composite coating were respectively improved to 3.

Antimicrobial packaging can prolong the shelf life of fresh food, but those active antimicrobial substances may leach into the food and affect its quality. To avoid this phenome, the CC double bond was first incorporated into the chemical structure of polylactic acid (PLLA) and tannic acid (TA) to prepare poly(L-LA-co-butyrate itaconate) (PLBI) and photoactive tannic acid (pTA). Then pTA-grafted PLBI (pTA-g-PLBI) films were fabricated using UV curing technology.
