Ascorbic acid incorporated in a bio-based coating, in combination with dipping and MAP, were used to extend the shelf life of the raw pork meat slices, used to prepare skewers. Main quality attributes were monitored for about 12 d to determine the decline in product quality during chilled storage. Meat sample, coated without any active compound, or dipped with sodium lactate showed a shelf life limited to about 7 and 5 d, respectively. In contrast, the sample coated with 1500 ppm ascorbic acid allowed a significant prolongation of shelf life to 11 d. Considering that this strategy is simple, a dipping combined with coating, and packaging in MAP could be very beneficial and of commercial importance to the meat industry.
