DEVELOPMENTS IN THE MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE PACKAGING OF FISH.

Author(s) : CANN D.

Summary

FOR A GAS/FISH RATIO OF 3.1, A GAS MIXTURE OF CO2/O2/N2 OF 40/30/30 IS SUITABLE FOR WHITEFISH AND 60/0/40 FOR FATTY FISH. STORAGE OF MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE PACKAGES SHOULD BE BELOW 278 K (5 DEG C). THE SELECTION OF APPROPRIATE GAS MIXTURES FOR FISH REQUIRES A BALANCE BETWEEN THE INCREASED INHIBITION OF SPOILAGE BACTERIA AND THE DELETERIOUS EFFECTS OF HIGH CO2 NOTABLY DRIP AND PACK COLLAPSE. SENSORY AND NON SENSORY TECHNIQUES FOR MONITORING CHEMICAL AND QUALITY CHANGES IN MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE AND VACUUM PACKS AT VARIOUS STORAGE TEMPERATURES ARE DISCUSSED. G.R.S.
