The evolution of microbiota will be monitored at the time of packaging and at the end of shelf-life. First, cultivable bacteria will be isolated, and biotyped through RAPD-PCR. 16S rRNA sequencing will allow further characterization and taxonomic identification. Metataxonomic analysis will be carried out as well. VOCs (volatile organic compounds) at the end of shelf-life will be analyzed through GC-MS. At the end of the shelf-life, CH slices are roughly described in terms of package swelling, presence of slime, color, and smell
