“…Hence, active MAP might delay the decrease in the ascorbic acid content of fruits. On the other hand, it has been suggested that active MAP should be considered to prevent ascorbic acid degradation in fruits (Agudelo‐Rodríguez et al, 2020; Perumal et al, 2021). It has been reported that citric acid, malic acid, and ascorbic acid contents decrease during refrigeration.…”

“…Encouragingly, under MAP with CO 2 , resulting in higher CO 2 solubility, low freezing temperatures are more effective for preserving perishable foods (Jakobsen & Risbo, 2009; Lee, 2021). Alternatively, gas composition variations and increased respiration rate probably contributed to the fluctuations in titratable acidity (Agudelo‐Rodríguez et al, 2020; Brondino et al, 2021).…”

“…Other studies have also reported that possible explanations may be related to the pretreatment of fruits before storage and other metabolic reactions induced under active MAP conditions at ambient temperature, which means that the physiological maturation process of the plant determines the accumulation of sugars as substrates during respiration. (Agudelo‐Rodríguez et al, 2020; Tinebra et al, 2021). The TSS of the active MAP group was still 8.10 °Brix after 16 days of storage.…”

For fresh foods, the purpose and benefits of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) generally include the preservation of antioxidants, the extension of shelf life, deferral of microbial spoilage, and retention of product color. Commercial MAP products frequently involve a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, affecting consumer acceptability, cost‐effectiveness, and hygienic food safety issues. This study investigated a novel active MAP formulation for strawberries in retail packaging which ensures changes in quality‐related physicochemical characteristics [including hardness, moisture, vitamin C, total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acid, and appearance] during low‐temperature storage, whereas samples of different storage times were assessed for shelf life by sensory evaluation. The innovative active MAP formulation of 0.8 g of sodium ascorbate, 2.6 g of sodium carbonate, and 1.6 g of ferrous sulfate achieved atmosphere equilibrium in packaged strawberries in <48 h, compared to 5–6 days in the control group. Strawberries treated with active MAP maintained their moisture, firmness, vitamin C, TSS, and titratable acid contents better than the control group (p < 0.05). The strawberries showed softening and waterlogging of tissue and 50% moldiness by the 14th day, while the control group lost commercial value by the 8th. New applications of similar commodities in food are unavailable based on current knowledge. Therefore, the scope of fresh food applications covered in this study and the refinement of other functions will be helpful directions for future research.

“…The condensation due to transpiring tomatoes can lead to accumulation of moisture. The removal of moisture can be achieved using active element (silica gel, polyacrylate salts, zeolites, and microporous clays) in the packaging system [ 115 ]. A sodium polyacrylate-cotton mixture applied as moisture adsorbent in the form of sachets resulted in noncondensation of water in active packaging system of tomato fruits [ 115 ].…”

The environment and food safety are major areas of concern influencing the development of biodegradable packaging for partial replacement of petrochemical-based polymers. This review is aimed at updating the recent advances in biodegradable packaging material and the role of virtual technology and nanotechnology in the tomato supply chain. Some of the common biodegradable materials are gelatin, starch, chitosan, cellulose, and polylactic acid. The tensile strength, tear resistance, permeability, degradability, and solubility are some of the properties defining the selection and utilization of food packaging materials. Biodegradable films can be degraded in soil by microbial enzymatic actions and bioassimilation. Nanoparticles are incorporated into blended films to improve the performance of packaging materials. The prospects of the fourth industrial revolution can be realized with the use of virtual platforms such as sensor systems in authentification and traceability of food and packaging products. There is a research gap on the development of a hybrid sensor system unit that can integrate sampling headspace (SHS), detection unit, and data processing of big data for heterogeneous tomato-derived volatiles. Principal component analysis (PCA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), and artificial neutral network (ANN) are some of the common mathematical models for data interpretation of sensor systems.
