Analysis of meat quality and safety indicators affected by different types of packaging
Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Sat, 08/23/2025 - 15:08Meat is the most important food product for humans. In 2024, worldwide meat production exceeded 350 million tons, with Russia accounting for over 16 million tons. Meat consumption in Russia averages 83 kg per person annually, exceeding the recommended intake by 10 kg. However, meat products typically have a limited shelf life, even when refrigerated. Refrigeration alone does not prevent microbial growth, as many spoilage microorganisms can proliferate at low temperatures (0 to 4°C).
