Table 1. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), and total plate count (TPC) of the sous vide pork loin and sous vide after wet-aging with different conditions
| Traits | Raw meat | Wet-aging conditions | SEM |
| CR (2 wk) | PEFR |
| 0°C (3 wk) | –1°C (4 wk) |
| TBARS (mg MDA/kg) | 0.20±0.01c | 0.22±0.01a | 0.21±0.01a | 0.21±0.01b | 0.002 |
| VBN (mg/100 g) | 1.87±0.32c | 3.74±0.32a | 3.17±0.28b | 2.99±0.32b | 0.159 |

All values are expressed as mean±SE.
Means in the same row with different letters are significantly different (p<0.05).
CR, commercial refrigerator; PEFR, pulsed electric field refrigerator; MDA, malondialdehyde.
