Abstract：Composite films containing polypropylene (PP) and acerola cherry extract (ACE) as an antioxidant were prepared by extrusion blow molding and their efficacy was evaluated extending the shelf-life of meat products. The thickness, mechanical properties and light transmittance of pure PP film (control) and composite films containing 0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75% and 1.00% ACE (m/m) were measured and compared. And changes in the color, pH, thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value and total viable count of emulsified sausages packaged with these films were monitored during subsequent storage at 25 ℃. By doing so, we aimed to evaluate the effect of the five films on lipid oxidation and shelf life in sausages. Result showed that the film with 1.00% ACE had the best antioxidant property and could extended the shelf-life to 27 days. The film can provide a tool for extending the shelf-life of cured meat products.
