Summary

The effect of controlled atmosphere with carbon dioxide (50-97.5%), oxygen (0.5-10%) and nitrogen (2-40%) on the physico-chemical, microbiological and sensory properties of chicken carcasses stored for 28 days at t = 0-3 °C was investigated. It was shown that, in order to prevent an undesirable change of colour and excess growth of lactic acid bacteria and other anaerobes, it was desirable to include a small amount of oxygen (0.5 to 5%) in the CA composition. The optimum CA composition was: 75% CO2, 20% N2 and 5% O2. At the optimum temperature (0-3 °C), CA can prolong the shelf life of whole chicken carcasses to 3-4 weeks, i.e. about 2-3 times longer than the shelf life of chicken carcasses stored in air.
