About Elite Meat
Meat is a global product, which is traded between regions, countries, and continents. Among the vast category of food products, meat is one of the highly perishable foods, which, unless properly stored, processed, and packaged, spoils quickly. The meat products decompose naturally and contain high fat and water. Such products are susceptible to spoilage by both lipid oxidation and microbial contamination. Spoiled meat is hazardous due to microbial growth and consequently the distribution of food-borne illnesses.
Elite Meat Packaging Tech’s novel packaging films for fresh meat packaging are designed to allow a small amount of oxygen to pass through the film, thus maintaining the oxymyoglobin that gives meat its fresh red color. Thus, meat cuts wrapped in plastic film at the market can be safely stored.

Meat is one of the most perishable foods!
Problems We Work On
- Global meat production: 300 M tons.
- Annual loss: ~20%.
- That’s 60 M tons!
- Most of this meat is not bad to eat!
- Most loss is due to sensory qualities:
- Changes in texture
- Color deteriorations
- Off-odors
Meat Spoilage Mechanisms
1) Natural lipid oxidation
2) Autolytic enzymatic reactions
3) Bacterial contamination
Current Packaging Methods
- Overwrap Packaging
- Cost-effective
- Short shelf life
- High exposure to O2
- Vacuum Packaging
- Protects colour & flavour
- Effective short-term use
- No protection against anaerobic bacteria
- MAP – Modified Atmosphere Packaging
- Vacuum sealed in vapour-barrier
- Mixture of O2, N2, CO2
- Removes/replaces atmosphere around the product
- Prolonged shelf life
- Higher expense
Colour is the Single Biggest Decision-making Parameter for Consumers When Selecting Meat
- Meat colour depends on oxygen + myoglobin
- MAP allows oxygen to pass through giving the desirable red colour
- BUT continued oxygen exposure + store lighting eventually turns the meat brown
OUR SOLUTION

Sold by Roll Dimensions: 18 in x 5000 ft Weight: 34 lbs
- Can double the shelf life of red meat
