Colour measurement of ground meat packaged in modified atmosphere Oldřich Smékal Vysoká škola chemicko-technologická, Praha
Goal of work To evaluate the effect of different additives and composition of modified atmosphere on the colour
Samples • The mixture of ground pork and beef meat Additives: • Robin (E325 – Sodium lactate, E262 - Sodium acetate) 0,5 % • AVO ( E330 – Citric acid, E325 – Sodium lactate, E262 - Sodium acetate, E621 – Sodium glutamate) 0,5 % Meat samples S1 – mixture without additives S2 – mixture + AVO S3 – mixture + Robin S4 – mixture + ice (5 %) + Robin S5 – mixture + ice (10 %) + Robin
Methods Measurement of atmosphere composition • CheckMate 9900 Reflectance spectrophotometry: • Minolta Chroma Meter CM 2600d L*, a*, b* Image analysis: • Nikon coolpix 4500, CanoScan 3200F • >>> *.jpg or *.lim • LUCIA 4.11 (RGB systém) • >>> mean red /R/,green /G/,blue /B/ • conversion on ratios of colours: r = R/(R+G+B) g = G/(R+G+B) b = B/(R+G+B)
Conclusion • depletion of oxygen by micro-organisms, fat and myoglobin oxidation • decrease of a*; L* and b* are not changing • no significant effect onmeat colour between individual additives • decrease of r and increase of g → oxidation
