KEY WORDS: micro-biological, packing modified atmosphere, carrots

ABSTRACT

An experiment was made regarding the micro-biological behaviour in storage, of fresh sliced and boiled sliced carrots packed in modified atmosphere. The gas used was a mixture of 70% N₂ and 30% CO₂.the packed samples behaved micro-biologicaly well.
