The hams were sliced after chilling to a thickness of 6 mm. The slices were placed in barrier bags with four slices per bag and vacuum packaged. The vacuum packaged ham
slices were then stored on shelves under 7.0 lx of Deluxe Cool White
florescent lighting (constant lighting for 24 h per day) at 2–4 °C.
Lights were suspended 61 cm above the packages during storage.
