The effects of chitosan coating and vacuum packaging on the quality and shelf-life of retail packaged grilled pork in a PVDC/nylon pouch during refrigerated storage at 2 +/- 1 degrees C were investigated. Grilled pork without chitosan coating and packaged in 100% air was used as the control sample. Firmness, pH, colour, peroxide values, microbial population and shelf-life (as determined by sensory characteristics) of the samples were determined during the storage. The results showed that colour, peroxide values and microbial population coincided with sensory characteristics. The delayed growth of microbes in vacuum packaging can be attributed to inhibition by low levels of O-2. Chitosan coating was shown to minimize oxidation, as reflected by the peroxide values, colour changes and microbial counts of the samples. Vacuum-packaged chitosan-coated grilled pork showed negligible microbial growth and was found to be organoleptically acceptable throughout the storage period. Chitosan coating along with vacuum packaging provided a type of active packaging to maintain quality and extend the shelf-life of grilled pork. Copyright (C) 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
