Notes:
The effects of MAP and/or pretreatment with lactic acid buffer were studied on the shelf-life of broiler carcasses, under conditions simulating market storage (4 and 7°C) in the State of Kuwait. Pretreatment with lactic acid buffer increased treated carcass shelf-life by 6–7 days when stored at 4°C and 5–6 days at 7°C. Likewise, pretreatment of MAP carcasses with the same buffer extended the shelf-life to 〉36 and 35 days, compared with 22 and 13 days for the untreated MAP carcasses. Pretreatment of poultry with lactic acid buffer, with or without MAP, provides a potential alternative for improving the storage quality of poultry.
