Abstrakt: Background: This study investigated the influence of the storage method on the physicochemical characteristics and microbial growth of m. longissimus thoracis et lumborum (LTL), m. biceps femoris (BF) and m. vastus lateralis (VL) of wild boar. Muscles were stored in a vacuum (VAC), in a modified high-oxygen atmosphere (MAP) or meat seasoning cabinet (DRY-AGED) for 21 days.
Results: Wild boar meat was characterised by a high protein and low fat content and a good amount of potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, zinc and iron. Significantly higher (P < 0.05) pH values were noted for DRY-AGED muscles stored for 21 days (up to 5.89 for VL). On day 21, a significant decrease in pH was noted for all MAP muscles (down to 5.23 for BF). Storage losses due to desiccation and water loss were significantly higher for DRY-AGED samples and ranged from 25.63% to 32.89% on day 21. MAP affected protein and lipid oxidation, which was also reflected in Warner-Bratzler shear force VAC and DRY-AGED had positive results regarding tenderness, whereas on day 21 the MAP-stored meat had toughened significantly (from 35.3 N to 50.7 N in LTL). Lipids were oxidised much faster than proteins during prolonged storage in MAP. Compared to the other methods, DRY-AGED had the best effect on microbial growth.
Conclusion: These results indicate that the recommended methods for the storage of wild boar meat are either vacuum packing or dry ageing. The high oxygen content of MAP negatively affected the quality of wild boar meat and carried a risk of increased protein carbonylation. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.
