Then came vacuum packaging, Nmv meat that might Ottee have deteriorated as early as 10 days after slaughtering can be preserv- ed for lip to 21 days on, super- Market shelves, at a temperature of approximately 34 degreet P. This increased shelf life is the result of the vacuum packaging technique that seals meat cuts W.° a vacuum, and protects them from bacterial and contaminating agents that would otherwise spoil them. The science of vacuum packing began in 1957-5S when a United states organization studied vacu- um packing in relation to meat Storage, spoilage and coloring. The : recommendations and de- yelOpments of this study are still guiding the printiples of vacuum packaging. Today almost every meat packing plant in North Am- erica vacuum pakages some of its prodUcts. Meat is Slaughtered, broken into primal cuts and trim• pied of most bone, gristle and fat, So that Most of the final product is edible meat. The proportion Of bone and fat removed depends upon the meat Cut. A chuck roast cut off the front end, for example, will contain more hone than a round roast cutk The cuts are ,shipped to retail Outlets in easy to-handle containers, ri;ven inedible waste products are put to use. Bone, for eX ple, is Used to make fertilizer cOra- patindds; or bone meal for live- stock. Dr, W. R. Usborne, Animal Sci- ence Department, University of Guelph, says Jlie vacuum packag- ing reduces meat moisture loss ...a.11sQd by evaporation, improves the palatability of meat, and allows normal aging to take place With minimum shrinkage. Veen- packaging also preserves meat color, thus keeping the product mare attractive to consumers. "While the principles of vacu- um paekaging have remained un- changed," says Dr. Usborne, "this does no mean that research into vacuum packaging ha ci; ceas- ed," Research is under way to establish if yaeriurri packaged meat can be stored, at different temperatures, for different time periods without resultant spoil- age, The possibilities of cooking or freezing meat in vacuum: pack- ages is being explored. Techno- logical iMpro-Vements are being made and it is hoped that the costs of vacuum packaging can be substantially redsced. CHANGES FORESEEN IN FOOD MARKETING Feed dittribution and the retail- ing system in. Canada may be: radically altered over the next five years if long-term influences: are, brought to bear. Mr. A. McKichan, rreSident of th. Retail Council of Canada in an address- to the Changing. Concepts in Agriculture and Food 'Conference, held in the Univer- sity of Guelph, said that urban- ization, consurnerismi nutrition, pollution and technology are all factors that will affect the future food marketing requirements. 'Greater: unemployment insur- ance and social benefits, together -with increased urbanization, will mean that poorer sections of the tt.conomS, can sperl. more On food, and that city dwellers will require betel' food, with service. built into the consumer price, More take-out restaurant foods, better processing for convenience pre- paration, and a general upswing . in retail store services will be. needed to meet these demands, Consumerism -- a consumer's increased awareness of good value, and of her important role in the economy — will mean that better packaging and more ifer- illation on food products will be required. 'Mr. McKichan added that the "no nonsense" attitude of consum- ers will sometimes lead to de- mands that are impractical and expensive. Whenever disagre- ements between consumers and the retail trade become apparent, detailed explanations for retail actions will have to be given, Concern about nutrition and .pollution will add to the retail. trade's responsibility to provide goods that are truly for the public good. 'letter consumer 'education means that the public will no longer buy food that looks good, but is not nutritious. New technology and mechan- ization moans that future store buildings and service will he up- graded, and packages made more uniform in size. It should lead to automatic reordering techniques and check-out systems, and should be used to promote better market research into • ',consumer pref- erences, Wife to husband reluctantly helping their son with his home- work: "I-felp him. while you can.
