“…Appropriate storage conditions are important factors to minimize deterioration and improve the conservation of fresh-cut vegetables (Belay et al, 2016). The use of some kind of packaging has been reported as an effective alternative to minimize the physiological changes in whole and fresh-cut vegetables, by modifying the atmospheric conditions around the product, thus limiting oxygen availability for the polyphenol oxidations (Abbasi et al, 2016;Wilson et al, 2019;Zhang et al, 2015).…”

Appropriate storage packaging is an important aspect to minimize physiological deterioration and enhance the shelf-life of minimally processed products. Thus, the goal of this study was to evaluate the physiological and biochemical changes associated with the quality loss of minimally processed yam, maintained in two different packages at 5 ± 2 °C. The yam roots were selected, washed and conserved at 8 ± 2 °C for 24 hours. They were then peeled and cut into slices about 3 cm thick and minimally processed. Approximately 300 g of minimally processed yam roots were packed in polypropylene (PP, 4 μm thick) and multilayer nylon (NY, 15 μm thick) 15 cm wide x 20 cm long bags, which were stored at 5 ± 2 °C for 14 days. The minimally processed yam conserved in PP packaging presented fluorescence on the surface of the segments, characteristic symptoms of Pseudomonas spp., and showed higher peroxidase and catalase activities. The nylon packaging was more efficient in reducing oxidative damage and also inhibited polyphenol oxidase activity and decreased the accumulation of soluble proteins, resulting in decreased deterioration during storage. Thus, the quality of the minimally processed yam maintained in NY packaging was conserved for 14 days at 5 ± 2 °C.

“…Thus, higher RR could indicate a faster rate of physiological aging, senescence and deterioration of fresh produce (Cliffe-Byenes & O`Beirne, 2007). Improved postharvest handling methods which apply modified atmosphere (MA) around the produce can be used to reduce RR and slow down metabolic processes, thereby maintaining quality and extending shelf life (Belay, Caleb, & Opara, 2016;Caleb et al, 2012a;Jing-Jun et al, 2012).…”

“…In addition, predicting respiratory kinetics of different fruits and vegetables has been based on consideration of the RR as a function of gas composition using enzyme kinetics model (Belay et al, 2016;Iqbal et al, 2009;Torrieri, Perone, Cavella, & Masi, 2010). For pomegranate fruit, Caleb, Opara, and Witthuhn (2012b) investigated the effect storage temperature (5, 10 and 15°C) and time on RR of pomegranate arils (cvs.…”

Super-atmospheric O 2 has been shown to affect respiration rate (RR), but no model describing its effect on RR for pomegranate arils has been reported. This study investigated the effects of four different gas compositions (5 kPa O 2 , 10 kPa CO 2 and 85 kPa N 2 ; 10 kPa O 2 , 5 kPa CO 2 and 85 kPa N 2 ; 70 kPa O 2 , 10 kPa CO 2 and 20 kPa N 2 ; and air) on RR of pomegranate arils (cv. Wonderful) stored at 5°C. Michaelis-Menten enzyme kinetics models were used to investigate the effect of CO 2 inhibition on O 2 consumption rate. Respiratory quotient was used to determine fermentation threshold. The O 2 consumption rate increased from 0.87 to 2.81 mL/kg h, with increase in O 2 concentration from 5 kPa to 70 kPa. All enzyme kinetics model parameters adequately described the influence of gas concentration on aril RR with correlation coefficient (R 2 adj = 81-91%). Modelado de cinética enzimática para evaluar el impacto de altas concentraciones de CO 2 y de concentraciones súper-atmosféricas de O 2 en la frecuencia respiratoria de arilos de granada RESUMEN Se ha demostrado que el O 2 súper-atmosférico incide en la frecuencia respiratoria (FR); sin embargo, no existe ningún modelo que describa su efecto en la FR de los arilos de granada. El presente estudio analizó los efectos que cuatro composiciones diferentes de gas (5 kPa O 2 , 10 kPa CO 2 y 85 kPa N 2 ; 10 kPa O 2 , 5 kPa CO 2 y 85 kPa N 2 ; 70 kPa O 2 , 10 kPa CO 2 y 20 kPa N 2 ; y aire) tuvieron en la FR de arilos de granada (cv. Wonderful) almacenados a 5°C. Así, para investigar el efecto de inhibición que el CO 2 produce en la tasa de consumo de O 2 se utilizaron modelos de cinética enzimática de Michaelis-Menten (MM), mientras que para determinar el límite de fermentación se empleó el cociente respiratorio (CR). Se constató que el aumento de la concentración de O 2 de 5 kPa a 70 kPa produjo un incremento de la tasa de consumo de O 2 , que se elevó de 0.87 a 2.81 mL/kg h. Todos los parámetros del modelado de cinética enzimática describen adecuadamente la influencia de las concentraciones de gas en la FR de arilos de granada, con el coeficiente de correlación (R 2 adj = 81-91%).

“…Thus, for continuous improvement of a widely used packaging practice, a packaging efficiency evaluation is necessary.However, current evaluation methods mainly focus on limited indicators, mainly temperature and humidity [24,25], while the analysis for gas parameters, packaging material input, and whole process performance has been neglected. Traditional practices based on experiments for continually improving the packaging design are iterative and time-consuming [26]. Previous studies focus on the evaluation of the overall chain from non-stop monitoring [27], but few of them introduces the specific package practices and the subtle differences between varieties.…”

With the continuous push for improving packaging efficiency of current packaging practices to prevent losses in a real cold chain, a holistic evaluation method with improved indicators and a conceptual assessment framework to improve packaging efficiency continuously in a fresh vegetable cold chain was proposed. Based on two fresh leafy vegetables with typical packaging practices in a real cold chain in China, the evaluation method was performed and tested from a macro perspective, and then the packaging efficiency constitution with loss prevention perspective was better visualized. The results show that the method can be used for improving the performance of specific packaging efficiency in the fresh vegetable cold chain and improving the suggestions' sustainability orientation, and systematically summarize their impacts on packaging efficiency; specifically as follows: (1) Since the correlation between the state of fresh vegetables and the environmental stress in the package, the performance of the micro-environment parameters should be given priority for packaging efficiency improvement in loss prevention. (2) Although the use of the packaging materials in current practices was relatively better, it still can improve in food safety and packaging sustainability of the packaging practices through the selection of packaging materials with better sustainability characteristics. (3) Via the visualization of targeted packaging efficiency in cold chain, the fluctuation of loss rates in the cold chain process are well perceived, and there are still room can be performed continuously to realize more efficient packaging for better loss prevention. (4) The method has drawbacks that the optimization of the weights to the given indicators and the indicators based on nutrition and quality of fresh produce was not considered in current research, and it should be strengthened in future research. (5) It is necessary that the perception of differences in targeted packaging efficiency and the consciousness to improve specific packaging efficiency in vegetable cold chain for sustainability.Sustainability 2019, 11, 3874 2 of 18 and quality loss in the packaging [6,7] that the monitoring and controlling the process environment in vegetable cold chain can reduce losses. Losses during the cold chain contribute a lot to the losses of green produce in the cold chain. For example, losses in storage accounted for about 15-20% and in distribution about 5-10% for vegetable [3], which has an undesirable impact on the environment and resources [8], as well as social welfare in China. Increasing demand for fresh produce and the severity of food losses force us to turn to a safer and greener vegetable cold chain. Thus, responding to these issues in cold chain practices, packaging, and ongoing improvement in loss prevention [9] is imperative.Efficient packaging practices are the crux for preservation and processes management, including storage and distribution, which effectively reduce the loss and securing safety of fresh vegetables [10] in co...
