Procedure for the conservation of fresh perishable food in a container and packaging for this purpose. The invention relates to a method of preserving fresh perishable foods, of special application for meat and meat products, in a container, where the process eliminates the need to incorporate a modified and/or protective atmosphere, the container itself being the one generating said protective atmosphere from a chemical reaction of generation of carbon dioxide that starts with the natural exudate of the packaged product and that extends over time, so that the generation of gases inside the container is effectively controlled and avoided the accumulation of exudate in contact with the food inside said container. Another object of the invention is a container generating a protective atmosphere for the fresh perishable product packaged according to said procedure.

La invención se refiere a un procedimiento de conservación de alimentos perecederos frescos, de especial aplicación para carnes y derivados cárnicos, en un envase, donde el procedimiento elimina la necesidad de incorporar una atmósfera modificada y/o protectora, siendo el propio envase quien genera dicha atmósfera protectora a partir de una reacción química de generación de dióxido de carbono que se inicia con el natural exudado del producto envasado y que se prolonga en el tiempo, de forma que se controla eficazmente la generación de gases en el interior del envase y se evita la acumulación de exudado en contacto con el alimento dentro de dicho envase. Es igualmente objeto de la invención un envase generador de una atmósfera protectora para el producto perecedero fresco envasado de acuerdo con el citado procedimiento.
