ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for killing microorganisms on the surface of raw meat. The microorganisms are killed by exposing the meat to controlled applications of a biocidal treatment gas in a vacuum/pressure regulated environment. The meat is first exposed to a vacuum, the surface then flushed with an air-free treatment gas, then full treated with the air-free treatment gas, and then reexposed to a vacuum. The method and apparatus successfully kills microorganisms on the surface and pores of raw meat without causing significant deleterious changes to the meat.
