For each sensory test, the meat samples were put in white, opaque containers and coded using three-digit numbers chosen randomly for each test. The sensory analysis was performed at day 0, day 2 and day 4 of storage, for which meat was removed from trays and kept at room temperature for 30 min before being served to the panel. All sessions were carried out in a sensory analysis laboratory equipped with individual testing booths and controlled lighting to neutralize any possible differences in colour or appearance of the meat. A single turkey breast was used for each sensory test to avoid differences not related to the packaging
