FH II Lab 2 Flashcards
Role of packaging
Protect:
• Product from the environment (oC, RH, sunlight)
• Environment from the product (odor, fluid..)
Keep:
Quality for given shelf life
modified atmosphere, mix of CO2 and N2
vacuum packaging
Types of packaging material
Abbreviations on bottle:
PP: Polypropylene
PET: Polyethylene Terephthalate PS: Polystyrene
Select packaging material (FCM)
Migration: from plastic to product
• BPA from PC (policarbonate)
• Gold lack acidic low pH products
Penetration: from product to packaging
• Discoloration (mineral water with peach flavor) • Smell (soft drinks, Fanta – orange)
Role of food labelling
- To provide consumer with adequate information
- To avoid consumer confusion
- Changes in shopping habits (e-commerce, the importance of nutrients, vitamins, minerals)
The skeletal muscle and the closely attached edible tissues (fat, connective tissue, blood) of food producing animalsorEvery part of the animal’s body from which food can be produced

Organoleptic properties of meat
MaturationSpecies, breed, age, gender, body partFeedSlaughtering process
Influences of organoleptic properties of meat
Glycogen (pH 7.6) b/d to Lactic Acid (pH 5.5)
pH change in meat caused by
Nitrazine yellowBromothymol blueElectric pH meterIndicator paper
Measuring pH

– Lipochromatosis (Carotenoids +)– Lipofuscin-like pigments (Unsaturated fatty acids +) – Icterus / Jaundice: Pathological
Yellow coloured meat caused by
Melanin (lungs), porphyrins (ribs)
Black coloured meat caused by
Alcohol ether-Jaundice: BR dissolves in alcoholCarotenoids: dissolves both in ether
Yellow discolouration examination
Organoleptic judgement- boiling and roasting
Test smell
• Alimentary (e.g. fishmeal, moldy feed)• Boar taint (androstenone, skatole)• Antemortem (disease, metabolic disorder – Lab examination)• Postmortem (acquired from the environment)
Abnormal smell
hemoglobin infiltration of the meat
Incomplete bleeding results in
– Slaughtering technology– Disorder of the circulatory / nervous system – Toxicosis– Infection– Stress
Reasong for incomplete bleeding
Reder test (Löffler reagent – Methylene blue)
Determination of incomplete bleeding
Bacterial decomposition of nitrogenous compounds
Rot: cause of it?
