Popis: Summary The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of various atmosphere compositions (20% CO2/80% N2 for modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) 1, 50% CO2/50% N2 for MAP 2, 70% CO2/30% N2 for MAP 3 and vacuum packaging) on the microbial (mesophiles, psychrophiles, Pseudomonas spp., Brochothrix thermosphacta and Enterobacteriaceae), physical, chemical [trimethylamine (TMA) and total volatile basic nitrogen (TVBN)] and sensorial characteristics of broadtail squid (Illex coindetii) stored for 10 days at 2 ± 1 °C. All microbial populations were severely restrained by MAP 3 with the exception of Enterobacteriaceae, which seemed to take advantage of the lack of competitive microflora and had enhanced microbial counts on MAP samples (P
