REFRIGERATED STORAGE OR SHIPMENT OF FRESH MEAT IN A MODIFIED GASEOUS ATMOSPHERE

摘要

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSUREMeat and fish can be stored for extended periodsunder refrigerated conditions without loss of original qualitiesby maintaining the refrigerated meat in an artificial atmospherecomposed of 2-1/2-30% by volume molecular oxygen, 10-75% byvolume molecular carbon dioxide, and 1-10% by volume carbonmonoxide, and the remainder molecular-nitrogen. Alternatively,the carbon monoxide may be removed from the modified atmosphereafter the meat has been treated for at least one hour.- 1 -- 1-
