Popis: Gas-exchange packaging was applied to preserve freshness of rainbow trout fillets. The fillets were packaged in pouches of coextruded laminate (ethylene vinyl acetate/ polyvinylidene chloride-polyolefin) with a carbon dioxide-nitrogen gas mixture (N2 : CO2 = 6 : 4). Other fillets were wrapped with polyvinyl chloride film as a reference group. Changes in sensory score of colour and flavour, K-value and bacterial counts of the fillets were investigated during storage at 5°C. After 2 days the fillets wrapped with polyvinyl chloride film lost their gloss. In addition, an amine-like odour was detected after 3 days. The gas-packaged fillets, however, showed little change in colour, flavour and bacterial counts, and retained their fresh appearance for 3 days.
