Notes:
English style crumpets were packaged in the atmosphere of CO2 and N2 (3:2) and stored at 20°, 22°, 24° and 30°C. In all cases, package volume and headspace CO2 concentration decreased during the first week of storage. At 30°C, the volume started to increase after 12 days due to production of CO2 and other metabolites by microorganisms. At 24°C, the volume did not start to increase until after 25 days, while at 22° and 20°C it remained stable or gradually decreasing. Aerobic plate counts and metabolites were higher in the product stored at 30°C for 19 days than those stored at 20°C for 1 month. Product pH after 1 month at 20°C was lower (5.9) than that at 30°C for 19 days (6.5) due, essentially, to the absorption of CO2.
