However, as a result of an increasing demand for fresh and ready-touse products, a need has emerged for further studies involving the possibility of extending shelf life of the refrigerated meat. It is quite known that this conservation technology, when applied to perishable food such as fresh meat, results in a shorter shelf life. Fernandes, Freire, Guerra, Balieiro, and Trindade (2012), evaluated the stability of vacuum packaged lamb loin, stored at 4 °C for 28 days. In spite of maintenance of the main physical and chemical quality parameters during the evaluated period, the authors noticed an important increase of spoiling microorganisms' counts from the 7th to 14th day of storage, limiting the product shelf life.
