The effect of modified atmosphere and vacuum packaging on the shelf-life of "morcilla", a traditional cooked blood sausage, was investigated. A total of 99 "morcillas" were packaged under vacuum and in modified atmosphere using three different gas mixtures: 15:35:50/O-2:N-2:CO2 (atmosphere 1), 60:40/N-2:CO2 (atmosphere 2) and 40:60/N-2:CO2 (atmosphere 3), and stored during 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks at 4 degrees C. Shelf life evaluation was based on pH, water activity (a(w)), colour (CIE L*, a*, b*, C* and h*), TBARS formation and microbial counts. The results indicated that, in general, storage time affected (P0.05) among packaging conditions. Based on the microbial counts, the shelf-life of "morcilla" would be greater than 8 weeks for all packaging conditions. Samples packaged with high CO2 concentrations (40:60/N-2:CO2) showed the lowest values of TEARS at the end of storage. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
