• The oxidative stability of pork steaks and pork mince in MAP was investigated.
• Samples were stored refrigerated for 2, 5 and 7 days in 0, 20, 50, and 80% O2.
• Steaks were stable at increasing O2 content but the mince progressively oxidised.
• Use of intermediate (50%) instead of 80% O2 improved the mince oxidative stability.
• Individual optimisation of the MAP for different retail pork products is suggested.
The characteristics and the oxidative stability of pork steaks and of pork mince were investigated during 2, 5 and 7 days of refrigerated storage using oxygen (O2) levels of 0%, 20%, 50% and 80% in modified atmosphere packaging (MAP). Steaks stored during 7 days were not affected by an increase in O2 concentration, as revealed by lipid and protein oxidation markers. In contrast, the mince was characterised by an altered protein profile, loss of free thiol groups and increased protein oxidation, early during storage. The oxidative stability of pork mince was improved by using intermediate (50%) O2 MAP. The results show that fresh pork products are affected differently by the MAP O2 concentration and strongly indicate that optimisation of MAP based on the retail product type would be of considerable benefit to their oxidative stability.
