Variation in the maximum shear force, MSF, for raw meat during storage at 0, 4 and 10 °C was as shown in Fig. 1. There was no significant difference (P > 0.05) between aerobic and vacuum conditions for the MSF value at different storage temperature. Texture parameter reflected a progressive softening in the raw meat during storage at 4 °C and 10 °C, for both films. On the other hand, at 0 °C the MSF showed no variation for period of time studied.
