Summary

The effect of modified atmospheres (75% CO2: 25% nitrogen; 50% CO2: 50% nitrogen; and 25% CO2: 75% nitrogen) and 100% air on shelf life of fresh tilapia fillets packaged in high barrier film bags was evaluated at refrigeration temperature (4.0 deg C). When levels of CO2 were increased from 25 to 75% in the package atmosphere, the shelf life of modified-atmosphere packaged tilapia fillets was extended 4-21 days more than that of fillets packaged under 100% air. K-values were independent of spoilage and correlated only with length of storage of the modified-atmosphere packaged fillets.
