Controlled Atmosphere as a New Technique in Fresh Fish Shelf Life Extension

摘要

The research carried out under this grant represents the collaborative efforts of three research laboratories and the National Fisheries Education and Research Foundation. Collaboration of these groups allowed inclusion of a broad range of fish species representing the geographical components of the United States in a botulism incidence survey, and then allowed evaluation of three fish species in a detailed packaging study. Fish samples were obtained from a wide variety of commercial sources in forms that were usually encountered for distribution and sale of fresh products.
