Abstract: Disclosed are packaging systems and method useful in extending the storage-life of foodstuff such as fresh fish. The packaging systems and methods can be used to transport or store the foodstuff for an extended period of time. The packaging systems preferably use a fuel cell to maintain a reduced oxygen level in the environment surrounding the foodstuff.

Abstract: Disclosed are packaging systems and methods useful in extending the storage-life of foodstuff such as fresh fish. The packaging systems and methods can be used to transport or store the foodstuff for an extended period of time. The packaging systems preferably employee a high headspace and flexible architecture and may use a fuel cell to maintain a reduced oxygen level in a high carbon dioxide environment surrounding the foodstuff. Also disclosed are methods useful in extending the storage-life of foodstuff such as fresh fish. The methods can be used to transport or store the foodstuff for an extended period of time. The methods preferably use a low oxygen gas source to maintain a reduced oxygen level in the environment surrounding the foodstuff.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for stabilizing an oxygen dependent or oxygen-labile pigment from discoloration, and for maintaining the freshness and preventing discoloration of a foodstuff comprising the oxygen-labile pigment. In some embodiments, the method comprises (1) reducing the oxygen concentration in the atmosphere of a sealed container comprising the pigment to a level such that the oxygen will not discolor the pigment when CO2 is introduced into the container, and (2) introducing CO2 into the sealed container while retaining or further reducing the oxygen concentration in the atmosphere of the sealed container. Systems useful in the methods disclosed herein.
