3 99 Improper s a n i t a t i o n and poor temperatures can combine t o bring on discolorat i o n and spoilage within a matter of a few hours An unattractive b r i c k red color r e s u l t s a s cut meat surfaces l o s e surface moisture and dry Low humidities, excessive a i r movement and nonmoistureproof p a c a g i n g material promote surface drying Surface drying does not e n t i r e l y i n h i b i t surface b a c t e r i a l growt'n Thus, protection against drying may s e t up a moist surface condition that requires optimum s a n i t a t i o n measures and temperatures if' more than one day's display case l i f e i s desired Since packaging materials a r e available which w i l l give any degree of oxygen and moisture permeability, it i s possi5le t o maintain good color wlth proper p a c b g i r g materials o r t o promote discoloration through the use of improper packcging materials o r materials improperly applied It i s well known t h a t freah m e a t packnging films w i l l maintain t h e bloom of t h e meat f o r several days i f proper care is taken t o maid against other discoloration factors When a non-moistureproof film i s used, a dried surface and hard b r i c k red c o l o r develops i n a very short time With f r e s h meat the use of a vacuw package and an oxygen impermeable film will always produce a d u l l purple-red color It i s generally accepted that t h t s d u l l purple-red color does not have the appeal of the b r i g h t red color maintained with proper fresh meat packaging film, However, a vacuum package does provide a longer display case l i f e This resuit6, because of the f a c t that t h e vacuum package, and t h e oxygen impermeable f i l m provide a nearly oxygen f r e e package which i s not conducive t o t h e growth of the normal 8,poFtage bacteria found on meat Tbere is a growing u t i l i z a t i o n of vacuum packages on fresh ground meat The consumer has found that when the meat i s removed from the package, t h e c h a r a c t e r i s t i c b r i g h t red color i s quickly formed Freezing and storage temperatures of frozen meat have a marked influence on color A quickly frozen cut of meat has a b r i g h t red color A slowly frozen cut is dark red i n color Quick freezing produces small i c e c r y s t a l s and when the meat is thawed the d r i p loss i s less than i n the slowly frozen out where l a r g e r i c e c r y s t a l s have been formed i n t h e meat Frozen meat when stored a t r e l a t i v e l y high temperatures - 10 F t o 2 5 ' F, w i l l d i s c o l o r even though it was o r i g i n a l l y quick frozen and did o r i g i n a l l y have a b r i g h t red color The rate of discoloration can be vcly rapid, a matter of j u s t a few weeks a t temperatures around 25OF bbch of the discoloration of f r e s h frozen meats i n f r e e z e r display cases is due t o t h e f a c t that the frozen meat cuts are not held a t temperatures of 0%' o r lower The position of the meat cuts i n the case can a f f e c t t h e color of t h e packaged meat i t e m Very often t h e package is placed too high i n the case and does not have the advantage of t h e proper f r e e z e r temperature I n addition, the f l u c t u a t i o n of temperatures due t o defrost cycles and surface warming due t o radiant heat f r o m high i n t e n s i t y l i g h t contribute t o more rapid discoloration i n t h e display case than is found i n a closed freezer
4 100 Everyone has noted the frost that accumulates i n a package when the packaging f i l m is not i n close contact with the meat surface Wherever such f r o s t a m e a r s and whenever a non-moisture-proof packaging film i s used freezer burn w i l l devehp Freezer burn detracts from the appearance of the meat and if' it continues t o develop under prolonged storage, w i l l cause a decrease i n the juiciness of the meat and rasry lead t o undesirable flavor of the meat when cooked The e f f e c t of good and poor illumination is most s t a r t l i n g The i n t e n s i t y of l i g h t i t s e l f is most hnportant Case and store lighting has been constantly increased Stores toda3 have as much as 200 foot candles of light, sometimes over 100 foot candles of light a t the l e v e l of the meats i n the display case Waf displays that had 30 foot candles of l i g h t a t the product now have foot candles o r m o ~ The b r i l l i a n c e of the display i s greatly enhanced by increased l i g h t intensity There is som question concerning possible undesirable e f f e c t s of high intensity l i g h t levels It may be t h a t radiant heat from such intense l i g h t actually causes an increased temperature on the surface of the meat Such an increase in temperature could, of course, promote the r a t e of b a c t e r i a l growth and a s a r e s u l t promote discoloration lhcandescent l i g h t ing has been developed using special f i x t u r e s t o provide high l e v e l l i g h t i n t e n s i t y without excessive heat and is o r soon w i l l be conmtercially available, In addition, if there is any u l t r a v i o l e t radiation a t the high int e n s i t y l i g h t levels, discoloration will be increased because u l t r a v i o l e t l i g h t will discolor f r e s h meat cuts, Under r e l a t i v e l y normal l i g h t i n g i n t e n s i t i e s of 50 foot candles or under f r e s h meat does not aiscolor i n a matter of one o r two days display case l i f e Irkether t o use incandescent l i g h t s, fluorescent lighting, o r a combination of these two is 8 matter of opinion Everyone l i k e s t h e color rendition secured with incandescent lighting bhny believe t h a t proper fluorescent tubing produces an excellent display e f f e c t Improper fluorescent tubing, however, can produce a very unsatisfactory display Color enrichment possible with special colored l i g h t s i s a very questionable practice As long as the meat remains under these lights the qpearance i s outstanding If t h e shopper notices the neat package a f t e r she leaves t h e display and finds the color undesirable, she may drop the package most any place i n the store Discoloration I s the most important problem connected with the marketing of cured, smlced, and Table-Ready Meats This does n o t mean t h a t t h e factors of sanitation, temperature, drying, packaging, freezing, and lighting which were discussed i n the relationship to f r e s h meats should not be given equal consideration i n the handling of cured, smoked, and Table-Ready Meats In general, however, any cured meat item Will discolor aa t h e r e s u l t of display under l i g h t s before any of the above mentioned f a c t o r s become effective Discoloration in these proce66ed meat items occurs when the cured meat pigment i n the processed product combines with the oxygen of the air t o produce brown, grey brown and grey green discolorations Vacuum packaging, of course, admirably takes care of t h i s As opposed t o fresh meats, the cured meats r e t a i n t h e f r desired pirilrish-red color in the aksence of oxygen This chemi c a l reaction of the cured meat pigment and oxygen is accelerated when the product

MR BRISSEY: Yes, I think t h i s movement i s d e f i n i t e l y i n t h i s d i r e c t i o n t o pre-package ground meats a t the packer l e v e l f o r d i s t r i b u t i o n t o the r e t a i l trade The f a c t that t'ne pigment changes s o rapidly upon exposure t o oxygen o r t o t h e a i r so t h a t the homemaker, i f she does see through the package and sees the brown surface on the package, t h e minute she cuts it she g e t s the desired b r i g h t red color MEt ZAFFZE: I might mention one thing of interest,we have one chain s t o r e i n Georgia who came out w i t h what they c a l l a p r e s t i g e steak, and it i s a high-quality steak cut extra t h i c k, and they wrap it i n a vacuum package and it has t h e purple color of myoglobin, and a c t u a l l y they use t h i s a s a s a l e s point and, if anything, it has gone over b e t t e r than if it had the red color A s you go down the showcase you immediately see t h i s purple color and it stops you f o r a moment and you end up reading t h e i r l i t t l e advertisement above it, and they do put out a top-notch product and i n this p a r t i c u l a r case they have taken something which we said they couldn't do and W e it i n t o a s e l l i n g point Are there any other questions anybody might l i k e t o ask?
6 102 ME? VERN CARILL (Ohio State) : Is there any evidence that a product which has been vacuum packaged w i l l have a shorter shelf l i f e than one that i s open? MR BRISSEY: The question is, is there any evidence t o indicate t h a t a vacuum-psc3taged product wiu have a s h o r t e r shelf l i f e than one that is open? I can't think of anything with respect t o freshness, however, because of t h e metabolic processes going on i n the vacuum package ip you have had some of these peroxides that Dr Fox mentioned in curing these items which have been vacuum-packaged I have seen these cured meats t u r n green within t e n minutes a f t e r opening t h e vacuum package when they were a perfectly bright red color as l o n g a s the vacuum package w8s present, and the discolorat i o n would take place very, very rapidly once it is removed MR,%ETLE: A r e there any other questions? If not, Jim, we w i l l gut you back on time schedule, and even gained some, which I guess is unusual CHAIKMAN KEMP: Thank YOU, Bob A t t h i s time we wiu have the report of t h e W e r a h i p Committee, and George Wellington, we w i l l t u r n the program over t o you m GEORGE WEUIIVmN (Cornell) : Thank you, Jim report I s very b r i e f, and I think it w i l l consist f o r the mst part in passing out the Directories Mtny of you have received a copy of the Directory which has been available f o r the past few days; I know there are many here who did not receive it so I w i l l Just pause a minute while it it3 passed out The M e r s h f p Committee consists of Adams, Bratzler, Bray, assigned the Committee he gave us Cahill and a y s e l f, and a8 Chainnan these r e s p o n s i b i l i t i e s : First, t o publish the Directory, and t h i s we t r i e d t o do knowing that there would be some incmpletions Gle did the b e s t we could with it We laow that there are 8ome errors i n it, an6 we a r e sorry where it is incomplete We have tried t o make it accurate t o the extent that it agree with the yellow sheet which hat3 been submitted I hope that it is correct to that extent I think you w i l l pmbably be interested i n knowing that we took bids on the cost t o p r i n t 1,000 copies We had bids ranging from about $90000 up t o about $1,45000 Actually we gave the job t o the lowest bidder Due t o the selection of the cover material there was a l i t t l e more cost t o t h e p r i n t e r than we had anticipated The final b i l l was about $95000, eo these copies cost about 9S# each I think when and if it i s done again we probably could do a b e t t e r Job by getting, more complete
