Summary

MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE PACKAGING USING CO2 WAS DEMONSTRATED TO BE EFFECTIVE IN RETARDING THE GROWTH OF MICROORGANISMS DURING STORAGE OF FRESH FISH FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO. AT 277 K (4 C), THERE WAS AT LEAST A LOG DIFFERENCE IN BACTERIAL COUNTS AT 2, 4 AND 6 DAYS BETWEEN FISH STORED IN CO2 AS COMPARED TO CONTROL FISH STORED WITHOUT CO2. WHILE THE CO2 ATMOSPHERE WAS SHOWN TO INHIBIT THE GROWTH OF COMMON SPOILAGE TYPES OF BACTERIA SUCH AS GRAM-NEGATIVE RODS (PSEUDOMONAS), STIMULATION OF GRAM-POSITIVE BACTERIA SUCH AS LACTOBACILLUS WAS ALSO DEMONSTRATED.
