Summary

COLOUR IS STABILIZED BY INCUBATION OF LIVING SHELLFISH IN AN ATMOSPHERE CONTAINING CARBON MONOXIDE (CO FAVOURING THE FORMATION OF A STABLE PIGMENT, CARBOXYHAEMOGLOBIN). THE AUTHORS SHOW THAT THIS TREATMENT, COMBINED WITH VACUUM-PACKAGING, STORAGE IN ICE AND IRRADIATION, EXTENDS THE SHELF LIFE OF SHELLFISH TO 18 DAYS. (Bibliogr. int. CDIUPA-CNRS, FR., 87-210-229638.
