The rabbit carcasses were bulk packed (BP),
packed with flow-packs but under air (PUA) and under modified
atmosphere (MAP), without absorption pad and maintained under
refrigeration at 4 C 1 C. In BP, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) boxes
without lid were used to keep 10 carcasses/box. The rabbit were
collected from three different lots, in duplicate for each day and
packaging. In PUA and MAP, carcasses were individually packaged
in flow-packs by means of a horizontal equipment SP100-H
(Belca, Villabona, Spain).
