Type of article: Article

Summary

ATLANTIC COD WAS STORED UNDER MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE (25% CO2: 75% N2 ) AT 273, 277, 283 AND 295 K (0, 4, 10 AND 22 DEG C) DURING 16 DAYS AND WAS TESTED FOR THE PRESENCE OF 4 DIFFERENT PATHOGENIC BACTERIA: CLOSTRIDIUMBOTULINUM, CLOSTRIDIUM PERFRINGENS, YERSINIA ENTEROCOLITICA AND CAMPYLOBACTER JEJUNI. AT 273, 277 AND 283 K NO PATHOGENIC BACTERIA, EXCEPT YERSINIA ENTEROCOLITICA, WAS DETECTED AT ANY OF THE TEMPERATURE AND TIME REGIMES TESTED. IN ONE OCCASION CLOSTRIDIUM BOTULINUM WAS DETECTED AT 295 K FROM DAY 4 TO 16. IN SPITE OF THE PRESENCE OF YERSINIA ENTEROCOLITICA ON FISH, STORAGE OF COD UNDER CO2 ATMOSPHERE IS CONSIDERED RELATIVELY SAFE WHEN NO ABUSE OF TEMPERATURE OCCURRED DURING STORAGE.
