Summary

Stability of mozzarella cheese was studied under 8 modified atmospheres (air, vacuum and carbon dioxide/nitrogen mixtures) during 8 weeks. Samples, packaged in barrier bags and stored at 10°C, were periodically evaluated to investigate microbiological quality and composition of headspace gases. Levels of 75% CO2 were optimal to repress undesirable organisms and reduce gas formation.
