Summary

FRESH ICED CATFISH FILLETS, PROCESSED WITH LOW DOSE IRRADIATION (50-100 KILORADS) IN COMBINATION WITH MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE PACKAGING WERE SAMPLED EVERY 10 DAYS DURING A 30-DAY STORAGE PERIOD AND ANALYZED FOR MICROBIAL LOAD, COLOUR AND 2-THIOBARBITURIC ACID VALUES. NO DIFFERENCE WAS OBSERVEDBETWEEN MICROBIAL COUNTS OF PACKAGES FLUSHED WITH ELEVATED CARBON DIOXIDE ATMOSPHERES (80:20 CO2/AIR, 100% CO2 ) AND CONTROLS FLUSHED WITH 100% AIR.
