COLD SUPPLY CHAIN FOR MEAT
CODE NO. 3036]
Healthy animals slaughtered hygienically after resting and fasting provide a practically aseptic meat. However, following slaughter, evisceration and dressing operations, microbial contamination occurs especially on the surface of meat, through contact with equipment, tools, hands, clothes, objects, etc.
Due to the chemical composition of meat which is rich in proteins, lipids and water, it is a particularly favorable substrate for the growth of microorganisms. The lipid content of meat also makes it very sensitive to oxidation (the reaction of oxygen with fatty acids) and subsequent production of peroxides. The breakdown products of the peroxides produce the characteristic objectionable odor and flavor of rancid meat.
In general, meat spoilage can be avoided by maintaining the required cold chain, starting from its production until it reaches consumers.
Chilling refers to the application of cold to meat to reduce its temperature to 2-4oC within 24 hrs. Air temperature of chillers is in the region of 0°C.
Freezing refers to the application of cold to meat to reduce its temperature for preserving meat longer than 72 hrs (acceptable duration for chilled meat). Air temperature of freezers is in the range of -30° to -40°C.
