“…Mathematical models studies for Brassica oleracea var. acephala stand out the importance of cooling for shelf-life extension of minimally processed products and affirm that atmosphere composition shows more relevance for temperature condition over the ideal ones [10]. The results obtained about color evaluation are similar to those found by TOIVONEN [28] The influence of the broccoli fill weight on postharvest quality, Carvalho et al…”

“…The rate of gas exchange through perforations in a film is so much greater than through continuous films that a 1-mm perforation in a 0.0025 mm (1 mil) thick LDPE film has nearly the same gas flux as a half and a square metre area of the film. As might be surmised, perforated packages are more suitable for produce having a high O 2 demand [54,55].…”

Applications of Plastic Films for Modified Atmosphere Packaging of Fruits and Vegetables: A Review

Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) of fresh produce relies on the modification of atmosphere inside the package achieved by the natural interplay between two processes: the respiration rates of the commodity and the permeability of the packaging films. MAP has been a proven technology to meet the consumer's demand for more natural and fresh foods, which is increasing day by day. Because of its dynamic phenomenon, respiration and permeation take place simultaneously, and it is necessary to design the MAP system and select the matching films to achieve desired atmosphere early and maintain as long as possible. To meet the desired film characteristics for MAP, the different plastic films are either laminated or coextruded. In this modern world, the packaging films of required gas transmission properties are made available through advanced technology. Although the MAP industry has an increasing choice of packaging films, most packs are still constructed from four basic sustainable polymers: polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyproylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) for packaging of fresh produce. Polystyrene has also been used but polyvinylidene, polyester and nylon have such low gas permeabilities that they would be suitable only for commodities with very low respiration rates.

The study of modified atmospheric packaging (MAP) of fresh-cut bitter gourd was taken to extend the shelf life. Low density polyethylene (LDPE) and polypropylene (PP) films with a thickness of 100 micron (µ) were selected due to their less permeability to O 2 . The fresh-cut bitter gourd packaged under two different atmosphere (active -3% O 2 and 5% CO 2 and passive -atmospheric air) and stored at 8±2°C. The results showed that active MAP in LDPE had a minimum reduction in the physiological loss in weight (4.2%), chlorophyll content (19.26%), ascorbic acid (15%) and minimum increase of color value 'a' (44%), titratable acidity (66%), bacteria (50%), fungi (42.4%) after 15 days of storage. The sensory evaluation of maximum overall acceptability 8.2 was recorded in active MAP in LDPE.
