Preservation of mullets in carbon dioxide enriched gas mixture at 6-7°C

Abstract

Small mullets were stored at 6-7°C in gas mixtures containing 60% carbon dioxide & 40% air and 80% carbon dioxide & 20% air. It was found that fish stored in gas mixture containing 60% carbon dioxide and 40% air was acceptable upto 9 days and that stored in 80% carbon dioxide and 20% air upto 10 days as compared to 7 days for control packed in normal atmosphere.
