Abstract:Evidence is presented in this report to demonstrate that the appearance, storage life, and dessert quality of fall and winter pears and Golden Delicious apples can be improved by packing the fruit in certain kinds of sealed film box liners.Of the films tested, the following may be safely used as sealed liners during storage at 31°F . : Pliofilms 75 FF, 80 and 100 FM1, 80 and 100 HP, cellophane 300 LSAT, and polyethylene 100 and 150. Perforation of the film liner immediately upon removal from cold storage is ne… Show more
“…Mention of them is primarily for information of others who may wish to replicate the methodology. Gerhardt (6) in 1948 compared three types of cellophane and three types of Pliofilm as sealed liners for Golden Delicious. Fruit in 300 or 450 MSAT cellophane and in 120 P4 and P6 Pliofilm was severely injured (off-odor, off-flavor, and tissue injury) even during storage at 31°F.…”

“…It was shown by Gerhardt (6) that Golden Delicious apples previously held in various sealed film liners respired at a lower rate during cold storage than did comparable fruit without film protection. The respiration rate at 31°F .…”
