Summary

THE EFFECTS OF CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERES (CO2 CONCENTRATIONS RANGING FROM 0.03 TO 40% AND O2 CONCENTRATIONS RANGING FROM 21 TO 1%) WERE STUDIED ON FRESH < READY-TO-USE > GRATED CARROTS, STORED AT 283 K (10 DEG C). HIGH CO2 OR LOW O2 CONDITIONS FAVOUR THE GROWTH OF LACTIC ACID BACTERIA ON GRATED CARROTS, BUT NOTIN A STERILE CARROT MEDIUM. A 25% CO2 AND 2% O2 ATMOSPHERE IMPROVES RETENTION OF SUGARS. GRATED CARROTS WERE INOCULATED BY A STRAIN OF LEUCONOSTOC MESENTEROIDES, WHICH CAUSED INCREASED POTASSIUM ION LEAKAGE AND EXUDATION ONLY UNDER AN ATMOSPHERE CONTAINING 40% CO2 AND 10% O2.
