Extending of investigated sample• s shelf- life as affected by suggested (MAP) treatments was also considered. DARTEK F-101 forming nylon film was used for packaging fish samples under 50 %CO2+ 50% air (CA), 50 % C02+50 % N₂ (CN) and 50% CO₂+25 % N₂+25 % O₂ (CNO). Proximate chemical composition. physical, microbial and chemical quality indices as well as sensory evaluation showed that. (CN) and (CNO) treatments had the longer shelf -lives (35 and 33 days, resp.) compared with CA one (31 days) and control sample (16 days) UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2002/AAS/4702/2/723.pdf ER -
