Abstract
Shelf‐life of paté (salad in Israel) made by blending fried chicken liver and onions with hard‐boiled eggs was extended, from 6 days in air to 14 days by Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP), using high CO2/low O2 mixtures. Aerobic microbial growth, mainly B. subtilis, and lipid oxidation (as TBA values) were largely inhibited, during 14 days, and odour up to 8 days (not tested beyond). the microbial growth inhibition was due to high CO2 levels. Oxidation was prevented due to microbial inhibition and not due to reduced O2.
