abstract={The current study investigated the effectiveness of short-wave ultraviolet (UV-C) radiation on rainbow trout fillets inoculated with <i>Proteus mirabilis</i><i> </i>when combined with Modified Atmosphere Packaging technology (MAP). Rainbow trout were inoculated, packaged under different ratios of CO<SUB>2</SUB> and N<SUB>2</SUB> gases and subjected to UV-C radiation. Our study model demonstrated that at least 0.1001 J/cm<SUP>2 </SUP>is necessary to significantly reduce <i>Proteus mirabilis </i>loads (reduction of 1.8 log CFU.g<SUP>-1</SUP>) in trout fillet packaged without CO<SUB>2</SUB> gas barrier. The rainbow trout fillet packaged with CO<SUB>2</SUB> gas barrier had significantly reduced <i>Proteus mirabilis</i> load but not when associated with UV-C radiation exposure. The combined effect of UV-C and MAP at different radiation doses and ratios of CO<SUB>2</SUB> and N<SUB>2</SUB> gas did not contribute to <i>Proteus mirabilis </i>growth reduction. Overall, the use of MAP significantly reduces the penetration and effect of UV-C radiation when compared to the unpackaged control.  The combination of these two technologies of food preservation does not seem to be a suitable model to extend the shelf life of packaged fish fillet.},
