Figure Lengend Snippet: Oxygen consumption, measured as K/S 610/K/S 525) of Nellore Longissimus lumborum steaks with three ultimate pH (pH u ) packaged in HiOx-MAP. ab Difference among days within a pH u range ( p < 0.01). xyz Difference among pH u ranges within an experimental time (day) ( p < 0.01). pH u ranges: normal ( n = 12; 5.40 < pH u < 5.79), intermediate ( n = 12; 5.80 < pH u < 6.19) and high ( n = 12; pH u > 6.20). HiOx-MAP: high oxygen modified atmosphere packaging (80% O 2 /20% CO 2 ). OxyMb: oxymyoglobin -lower value indicates greater OxyMb formed during air-blooming, and then lower oxygen consumption (OC). Standard error bars are indicated.
Article Snippet: All muscle sections were then sliced into steaks (2.0 cm) and placed in preformed trays with soaker pads (trays model 13D65, 24 cm × 16 cm × 6.5 cm, white polypropylene with ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) barrier, O 2 permeability < 0.5 cm 3 /m 2 /24 h at 50% relative humidity, Sealed Air Corp., New Jersey, USA Air was removed from each tray, and a high oxygen atmosphere (HiOx-MAP) (80% O 2 /20% CO 2 ; Air Liquide Ltd., Campinas, Brazil) was flushed, with subsequent sealing with a high barrier sealing film (4532-G lid, with nominal thickness of 70 µm, O 2 permeability < 5 cm 3 /m 2 /24 h at 23 °C, 66% of relative humidity and water vapor permeability < 5 g/m 2 /24 h at 38 °C e 90% relative humidity, Bemis Company—Dixie Toga, Brazil) by using a Multivac machine (model T200, Multivac, Ltd., Wolfertschwenden, Germany).
