Additional Comment: Regarding the revision, the manuscript is interesting. Nevertheless, some points must be revised before any publication.

Indeed, the manuscript presents enough scientific quality and originality to be published.

Nevertheless, as I mentioned in my report, the topics in the introduction should be better linked,

and several quality parameters in the storage of quality fresh pork should be presented to improve the final quality of the manuscript (the storage part was not covered by the authors as it should). All the other points you asked about are mainly covered in the manuscript.

 

 

Comments on the Quality of English Language
