A method for the treatment of fresh meat in intermediate storage is de-scribed comprising the steps of storing the fresh meat for a predetermined time in a chamber closable in an air-tight manner, thereby building an atmosphere containing between 0.1% and 10% carbon monoxide (CO) within the closed chamber, increasing the pressure within the closed chamber to a pressure which lies more than 1.1 bar above the atmos-pheric pressure, replacing the atmosphere containing carbon monoxide and surrounding the fresh meat with an atmosphere of gas or a gas mix-ture containing no carbon monoxide, and equilibrating the pressure of the atmosphere surrounding the fresh meat to that of the atmospheric pres-sure. In addition an apparatus for carrying out the method is described. The apparatus comprises an inlet chamber, a main chamber and an outlet chamber which are arranged one after the other, wherein the inlet cham-ber is connected to the main chamber through an air-tightly sealable opening and the main chamber is connected to the outlet chamber through an air-tightly sealable opening, wherein the inlet chamber com-prises an air-tightly sealable inlet opening for supplying pieces of fresh meat to the inlet chamber, and wherein the outlet chamber comprises an air-tightly sealable outlet opening for emitting the pieces of fresh meat from the outlet chamber. |
