The connection and temperature control of cold chain links are key to ensuring meat quality. Considering the practical production of cold chain logistics in China, this study investigated the impact of various cold chain logistics modes (including warehousing, transportation, and sales conditions) at different temperature settings (7 °C, 4 °C, and - 1 °C), modeled in the laboratory, on the quality and bacterial community succession of pork. The pork quality was evaluated by pH, water holding capacity, total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), total viable count (TVC) and myowater status...
