Author(s) : PARKIN K. L., BROWN W. D.
Type of article: Article
Summary
A MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE (MA) OF 80% CO2 AND 20% AIR COUPLED WITH REFRIGERATED STORAGE WAS EFFECTIVE IN EXTENDING SHELF LIFE OF COOKED WHOLE DUNGENESS CRAB. AEROBIC PLATE COUNTS WERE LOWER OVER THE STORAGE PERIOD TESTED (25 DAYS). PH DECREASED IN MA SAMPLES, BUT INCREASED IN CONTROLS. THERE WERE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES IN REDOX POTENTIAL BETWEEN GROUPS. TRIMETHYLAMINE AND AMMONIA VALUES WERE SIMILAR FOR 14 DAYS, THEN BECAME HIGHER IN CONTROLS. THERE WERE NO DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TREATMENT GROUPS IN THIOBARBITURIC ACID VALUES, OR IN TEXTURAL PROPERTIES. AFTER REMOVAL FROM MA STORAGE, THE CRAB HAD A MICROBIAL SHELF LIFE THAT MIMICKED THAT OF A FRESH PRODUCT.
