Summary

CRAB MEAT PACKAGED IN PLASTIC (POLYPROPYLENE, FISHER) JARS WAS STERILIZED, COOLED, AND INOCULATED WITH APPROXIMATELY 1,000 CELLS/G EACH OF SALMONELLA TYPHIMURIUM AND PSEUDOMONAS FRAGI. SAMPLES WERE PACKAGED EITHER UNDER AIR OR A COMMERCIAL MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE (MA) GAS MIX CONTAINING 50% CO2/10% O2/BALANCE PROPRIETARY AND WERE STORED AT 280 AND 284 K (7 AND 11 DEG C). S. TYPHIMURIUM DID NOT GROW UNDEREITHER ATMOSPHERE AT 280 K BUT GREW UNDER AIR AND MA AT 284 K. MA-STORAGE SLOWED THE GROWTH OF BOTH S. TYPHIMURIUM AND P. FRAGI AT 284 K, ALTHOUGH GROWTH OF S. TYPHIMURIUM WAS MORE SEVERELY INHIBITED. USE OF 50% CO2/10% O2/BALANCE PROPRIETARY MA-STORAGE MAY GREATLY EXTEND THE SHELF LIFE OF CRAB MEAT.
