Summary

VACUUM AND NON-VACUUM PACKAGED SAMPLES OF TUNA OR TUNA SPIKED WITH KLEBSIELLA OXYTOCA T2, MORGANELLA MORGANII JM OR HAFNIA ALVEI T8 WERE STORED AT 275 AND 283 K (2 AND 10 DEG C) AND EXAMINED ON DAY 3, 6, 10 AND 15. UNLIKE THOSE STORED AT 275 K, TUNA SAMPLES STORED AT 283 K SHOWED SIGNIFICANT BACTERIAL GROWTH OVER TIME AND HAD HIGH LEVELS OF HISTAMINE. VACUUM PACKAGING DID NOT SHOW ANY BENEFICIAL EFFECT IN CONTROLLING BACTERIAL GROWTH AND HISTAMINE PRODUCTION AT THESE 2 TEMPERATURES. LOW TEMPERATURE STORAGE WAS MORE EFFECTIVE THAN VACUUM PACKAGING IN CONTROLLING HISTAMINE PRODUCTION BY THE BACTERIA TESTED.
