QUESTION
Which of the following statements are correct:
(1) Fresh meat should be wrapped in transparent film with a low oxygen transmission rate and low moisture vapor transmission rate
(2) In active packaging method, oxygen scavengers are employed to reduce the amount of oxygen in a package
(3) For packaging fresh meat a packaging film with an OTR value of 50 are more suitable
(4) To prevent the freezer burn meat should be freezed slowly in moisture permeable packaging material
OPTIONS
(A) 1 and 2
(B) 2 and 3
(C) 3 and 4
(D) 1 and 4
ANSWER
(A) 1 and 2
EXPLANATION
Fresh meat packaging should limit moisture loss while controlling oxygen exposure, and active packaging can use oxygen scavengers to reduce residual oxygen. A very low OTR value such as 50 is not generally the defining requirement for oxygen-permeable fresh red-meat display packaging, and freezer burn is prevented by rapid freezing and moisture-impermeable packaging rather than slow freezing in permeable material. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct, giving option (A).
