The increase of validity period of raw meats submitted to the coating process is obtained mainly through the retardation of oxidation process and consequent rancidity appearance. The improvement of the coating process has been a great incentive for the professionals of the food industry, mainly with relationship to the choice and composition of the covering system, responsible for characteristics as: maintenance of flavor and taste, functionality, cost, coating thickness, texture, visual appeal and differentiation among the products.
