Carbon monoxide (CO) is a
colorless, odorless, and
tasteless gas that is slightly
lighter than air. It is toxic to
humans and animals when
encountered in higher
concentrations, although it is
also produced in normal animal
metabolism in low quantities, and is thought to have some
normal biological functions. In
the atmosphere it is spatially
variable, short lived, having a
role in the formation of ground-
level ozone. Meat coloring
Carbon monoxide is used in
modified atmosphere packaging
systems in the US, mainly with
fresh meat products such as
beef, pork, and fish to keep
them looking fresh. The carbon
monoxide combines with
myoglobin to form
carboxymyoglobin, a bright-
cherry-red pigment. Carboxymyoglobin is more
stable than the oxygenated
form of myoglobin, oxymyoglobin, which can
become oxidized to the brown
pigment metmyoglobin. This
stable red color can persist
much longer than in normally
packaged meat.
