Summary

Meat packaged under oxygen tight film, vacuum or modified atmosphere (100% carbon dioxide, 40% carbon dioxide with 60% nitrogen, 20% carbon dioxide with 80% oxygen) is stored at 3 deg C for 28 days. Development of microflora, composition of volatile compounds in the head-space and off-flavours of the meat are investigated. Hexene-1, methyl thiirane, ethyle acetate, benzene and heptene-1 are detected in all the samples after 7 to 14 days storage.
