“…This technique effectively decreases respiration rates, thereby extending shelf life and maintaining quality (Kim, 2017;Park, 1995;Yoon and Kang, 2017). The use of MA has proven to be efficacious in the storage of various fruits and vegetables, causing the reduction of decay in apples, limiting weight and vitamin C loss in tomatoes, controlling pathogenic microorganisms in strawberries, and managing the bacterial count in asparagus while allowing costeffective distribution (Hong et al, 2019;Lee et al, 2013;Park et al, 2006;Wang et al, 2020;Yoon and Kang, 2017). Nonetheless, MA storage can lead to ethylene accumulation, potentially causing flavor loss, accelerated senescence, and spoilage (Hong and Park, 1997;Yoo, 2016).…”

“…Wang et al (2020) highlighted the efficacy of an oxygen transmission rate (OTR) film used in the packaging of asparagus; they reported a 41.4% decrease in total aerobic bacteria growth and a 67.7% reduction in E. coli growth after 20 days of storage at 4℃. Similarly,Pan et al (2015) demonstrated that freshly cut pineapple stored at 10℃ for nine days exhibited a total aerobic bacteria count of 5.9 log CFU/g.…”

This study evaluates the microbial safety of ginseng sprouts packaged in moss and a modified atmosphere (MA) film within Styrofoam boxes. Ginseng sprout samples were stored at 4°C for seven days, and the total fungi and aerobic bacteria counts, relative humidity, and moisture content were measured at 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7 days. During the storage period, both packaging treatments caused an increase in the total fungi and aerobic bacteria counts. However, by the seventh day, the ginseng sprouts packaged in the MA film demonstrated significantly lower counts of total fungi (3.03 log CFU/g) and aerobic bacteria (7.32 log CFU/g) than those in moss (3.66 and 7.63 log CFU/g, respectively). Moss packaging alone resulted in the total fungi count reaching up to 3.36 log CFU/g, with the aerobic bacteria count consistently exceeding 7 log CFU/g, highlighting the importance of hygienic management. Moreover, no significant differences were observed in the moisture content and relative humidity between the MA-film- and moss-packaged groups throughout storage. These findings indicate that the functional MA film is a more hygienic packaging solution for ginseng sprouts than moss.
