Widespread use of traditional packaging constitutes a serious ecological problem leading to a shift to biodegradable and compostable materials. The aim of this work is to study the ability of a new biopackaging (BP), based on biodegradable and compostable material, to preserve the quality of organic chicken meat for 14 days in comparison with a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) material. Results showed that the indices of Biogenic Amines (BAs) and the 18 monitored Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) have a similar trend in both packaged meats. For example, the total BAs concentration in meat increased from 390 to 961 mg Kg in BP and from 393 to 800 mg Kg in PET, as well as the microbiological counts. The new biopackaging (BP) showed similar properties of non-biodegradable material (PET) to preserve the shelf life of organic chicken meat and it could be used instead of plastic materials to promote a circular economy.
传统包装的广泛使用构成了严重的生态问题,促使人们转向可生物降解和可堆肥材料。本工作旨在研究一种新的生物包装(BP)在 14 天内保持有机鸡肉质量的能力,与聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)材料进行比较。结果表明,两种包装肉类中的生物胺(BAs)和 18 种监测的挥发性有机化合物(VOCs)的指标具有相似的趋势。例如,BP 中总生物胺浓度从 390 增加到 961mg/kg,PET 中从 393 增加到 800mg/kg,微生物计数也是如此。新的生物包装(BP)显示出与不可生物降解材料(PET)相似的特性,以保持有机鸡肉的货架期,它可以替代塑料材料,以促进循环经济。
