Summary

AN ACCEPTOR SET SIZE MEASURE WAS SUCCESSFULLY EMPLOYED TO EXAMINE SHELF LIFE TRADE-OFFS WHEN FRESH LAKE WHITEFISH FILLETS WERE DIPPED IN 0.0, 2.5 OR 5.0% (W/V) POTASSIUM SORBATE, PACKAGED IN LOW, INTERMEDIATE, OR HIGHER BARRIER BAGS, PLACED IN 100% CO2 MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE PACKAGING SYSTEM AND HELD UNDER REFRIGERATION AT LESS THAN 276 K (3 DEG C). WHEN SORBATE WAS VARIED, SHIFTS IN ACCEPTOR SIZE INDICATED THAT FILLETS DIPPED IN 5.0% SORBATE HAD THE LONGEST SHELF LIFE, EXCEEDING 14 DAYS. NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE WAS FOUND WHEN FILM PERMEABILITY WAS VARIED. FOR ALL BARRIER FILMS, SHELF LIFE EXCEEDED 15 DAYS ALTHOUGH THE LOW BARRIER BAG HAD SMALLER ACCEPTOR SIZES.
