Summary

The authors investigated the shelf life of fresh tilapia spp. fillets packaged in high-barrier film under both 100% air and a modified atmosphere of 75% CO2: 25% N2, and stored under refrigeration (4 deg C) and abuse temperatures (8 and 16 deg C). The chemical spoilage indicators trimethylamine, K-value, and surface pH, as well as microbial counts, were compared with the sensory characteristics of spoilage.
