Summary

Fresh chicken breast meats inoculated with Yersinia enterocolitica and Aeromonas hydrophila were packaged in glass jars containing different compositions of modified atmospheres (MA) (100%, CO2, 80% CO2/20% nitrogen) in vacuum and in air. The results show that while the growth of Y. enterocolitica and A. hydrophila was retarded under MA storage, the pathogens were capable of growth in MA and vacuum storage at both 3 and 8 deg C for studying inoculation levels. For total aerobic bacterial counts, there were no differences between chicken breast meats held in different atmospheres. CO2 packaging has the highest inhibiting effect on the growth of psychrotrophic aerobic bacteria during the first three days. Lactic acid bacteria of samples stored in MA and in vacuum increased rapidly when compared to those stored in air. It was also found that the effect of MA storage increased at 3 plus or minus 1 deg C.
