Abstract
Gnotobiotic animals were grown, slaughtered, eviscerated, cleaned, and packaged under several gaseous environments without bacterial contamination. Physical appearance and odor were maintained for several months in muscle tissue stored at 23° C. under vacuum and nitrogen. Greater deterioration was observed when the storage temperature was increased and when larger quantities of oxygen were added to the atmosphere.
1 The authors gratefully acknowledge the cooperation, encouragement, and supply of monognotobiote animals furnished by Robert D. Henthorne and Staff of the Ohio State University Laboratory Animal Facilities.
2 Approved as Journal Article No. 47–63 by the Associate Director of the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station, Wooster.
