This study was carried out to investigate the effects of three different packing methods including modified atmosphere, vacuum and common packaging on chemical, microbial and sensorial quality and shelf life of hot smoked Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) during storage at refrigerated temperature. For hot smoking, rainbow trout were gutted and cut in butterfly form and washed. Fish gutted br...

Samples of freshly harvested corn and remoistened corn were inoculated with Asphergillus flavus and stored for 4 weeks at about 27 C in air and three modified atmospheres. Aflatoxins and fat acidity were determined weekly. Corn stored in the modified atmospheres did not accumulate over 15 mug of total aflatoxins per kg. Corn from the high CO2 treatment (61.7 per cent CO2, 8.7 per cent O2, and...

gaz is one of the traditional food products. ingredient of gaz has certain differences compared with other sweets & snacks, which in the preparation of them no oils, starch and flour is used. adverse color, taste and odor in gaz may has been created by oxidation in nuts at store condition. on the other hand, gaz becomes dry in inappropriate packaging at areas with low humidity and becomes soft ...

Beef has a requirement for refrigerated storage up to 14 d to achieve adequate aging and a tender product. To achieve this aging with little spoilage and no surface drying, vacuum packaging is attractive, because it is inherently simple and offers a clear indication to the packer when the process has failed or there is risk of spoilage. However, there is increasing pressure on the meat industry...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) on biogenic amine production in turkey meat according to its shelf life period, determining an index of freshness. Sliced meat samples of different meat quality categories (according to color and pH₂₄) were individually packaged under aerobiosis (aerobic package) and in 6 different modified atmospheres conta...
