With our dedicated BRCGS certified facility, boasting a 20,200 sq.
Since then, we have developed a full range of pads and reels from 400ml – 26000ml per square meter absorbency, with a growing range of sealed edge pad solutions, and a customer base delivering from Middlesborough to Macau. We began with Marks and Spencer, producing their first, case ready, meat pads in the early 1980s. With unrivalled expertise and experience in designing food contact packaging solutions, our products safeguard food and retailer’s confidence in their case ready solutions, with a range of products that includes fruit pads, fish pads, meat pads, and oven pads, that help to preserve the freshness of food products. N-halamines absorbent pad antimicrobial chicken packaging shelf life.Industry Leaders in Absorbent Food Pads & PackagingĮstablished in 1984, Elliott Absorbent Products are world leaders in the manufacturing and supply of food absorbent packaging and products. Pathogens in the control pads increased to 3.7 and 4.9 log CFU/g, while the MC treated absorbent pads lowered these two bacteria to under the detection limit (l.7 log CFU/g) throughout 11 days of storage.
The populations of inoculated Salmonella and Campylobacter in meat loaded with MC treated absorbent pads were on average lower than those in the controls. Neither the color nor the pH of the meat was negatively impacted by the presence of MC. Microbial loads in chicken breast packed with MC coated absorbent pads were 0.3 log CFU/g lower than those in the control, and an approximate 0.2 log CFU/g reduction was observed for ground chicken.
MC treated pads reduced the levels of the main spoilage-related microorganisms (aerobic plate counts, lactic acid bacteria, Enterobacteriaceae, psychrotrophs, and Pseudomonas spp.) present in the absorbent pads by an average of 3.5 log CFU/g compared to the control. The microbial counts in chicken meat as well as in the food pads were analyzed on days 1, 4, 7, and 11. Fresh, processed chicken meat in packaging trays loaded with or without MC treated absorbent pads were stored at 4 ☌ for 11 days. In this study, the shelf life of chicken breast and ground chicken packed with 1-chloro-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-4-imidazolidinone (MC, a member oft the N-halamines) treated absorbent pads was investigated during refrigerated storage.
N-Halamines are a group of compounds containing one or more nitrogen-halogen covalent bond(s), and the high-energy halide bond provides a strong oxidative state so that it is able to inactivate microorganisms effectively.
