  The aim of the present work was to evaluate the effects of modified atmospheres packaging (MAP) on cobia (Rachycentron canadum) fillets. The specimens used were filleted and packed in high-density ethylene-vinyl alcohol plastic bags and then submitted to 3 treatments: A (control atmosphere air condition), B (vacuum atmosphere condition) and C (100% CO2 atmosphere condition), B (vacuum) and C (100% CO2). The packaged samples were maintained under cooling temperature of 2 ± 1°C. Samples were submitted to different analysis (TVB-N, pH, TBA, texture, color and microbiology) during the storage period (zero, 1, 7, 14, 21, 30 and 45 days). Samples stored under aerobic conditions (A) showed fast increase of TVB-N and an increase of pH values. The TBA indexes remained below 3.5 mg kg-1 for all treatments and the color patterns varied slightly while the texture analyses varie.. View More»
