1

The data are average values of 50 tests for storage time 0; 25 tests for storage time 4, 7, 9, 11 D.

a–e

Means with different letters in the same row, differ at P < 0.05 in view of the time of storage.

x,y

Means with different letters in the same column, differ at P < 0.05 in view of the packaging atmosphere.

Significance effects: *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; ns—not significant.

PA: packaging atmosphere, ST: storage time, MA: modified atmosphere (80% O2 and 20% CO2), SFA: saturated fatty acid, UFA: unsaturated fatty acid, MUFA: monounsaturated fatty acid, PUFA: polyunsaturated fatty acid.
