Abstract

This research was undertaken to assess the effect of tragacanth gum–chitin nanofiber (TG–CNF) film containing free (CEO) or encapsulated cumin essential oil (CNE) combined with oxygen absorber (OA) packaging on the shelf-life of ready-to-cook (RTC) turkey breast burgers during chilled storage. The experimental groups were OA and TG–CNF as single treatments, TG–CNF + CEO, TG–CNF + CNE, and TG–CNF + OA as binary treatments, TG–CNF + CEO + OA and TG–CNF + CNE + OA as ternary treatments, and control. The samples were stored at 3°C for 20 days and analyzed for microbial, physicochemical, and sensory attributes. Binary treatments, when compared to single treatments, and ternary treatments, when compared to binary treatments, exhibited enhanced effectiveness in managing microbial growth, hindering physicochemical alterations, and decelerating sensory alterations. At day 20, TG–CNF + CNE + OA group was identified as the most effective group in inhibiting the growth of total mesophilic bacteria (TMB), total psychrophilic bacteria (TSB), and coliforms (final counts were 4.8, 4.16, and ≤1 log CFU/g, respectively), and TG–CNF + CNE + OA and TG–CNF + CEO + OA groups were known as the most effective groups in inhibiting lactic acid bacteria (LAB) (final counts were 4.71 and 5.15 log CFU/g, respectively). Furthermore, the TG–CNF + CNE + OA treatment proved to be the most effective group in reducing the total volatile nitrogen (TVN) (final level was 19.2 mg N/100 g) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) (final level was 0.119 mg malondialdehyde (MDA)/kg). TG–CNF + CNE + OA and TG–CNF + CEO + OA were the most efficient groups to delay the increasing rate of cooking loss (final values were 23.3% and 24.6%) and pH (final values were 7.01 and 6.99). The sample's shelf-life was 4 days in control and TG–CNF, 8 days in OA and TG–CNF + OA, 12 days in TG–CNF + CEO, 16 days in TG-CNF + CNE and TG–CNF + CEO + OA, and at least 20 days in TG–CNF + CNE + OA. As a result, the incorporation of TG–CNF + CNE alongside OA packaging emerges as a highly effective active packaging method for preserving RTC turkey breast burgers during chilled storage. © 2024 The Authors.
