Figure 8. Mean log psychrotrophic plate count<br />

populations determined for packaged crab meat stored<br />

at 0<strong>°C</strong> in <strong>the</strong> control and three tamper-evident<br />

containers<br />

showed no consistent differences. The sensory panel found no<br />

subjective differences in meat color or appearance among <strong>the</strong> four<br />

sample containers.<br />

Panel analyses found no consistent significant differences<br />

Several monitored parameters had significant correlation<br />

coefficients with storage time. The results were statistically
