Effects of Salinity on Tagetes Growth, Physiology, and Shelf Life of Edible Flowers Stored in Passive Modified Atmosphere Packaging or Treated With Ethanol

The Effect of Modified Atmosphere Packaging on the Shelf-life of Greenhouse-grown Tomato

In the present study, packaging of a greenhouse-grown tomato on the culture medium containing 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% compost tea under modified atmosphere: MA (88%N2 + 8%CO2 + 4%O2) in polyethylene and nanosilicon-polyethylene bags was studied at 5°C for 30 days. Several quality parameters such as moisture content, pH, total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA), Vitamin C content, text...

The effect of vacuum and modified atmosphere packaging on the shelf-life of lamb primals, stored at different temperatures.

Lamb primals (shoulders) were vacuum packaged or packaged in modified atmospheres containing 80% O(2)/20% CO(2), 50% CO(2)/50% N(2) or 100% CO(2), and stored at 5 or 0 °C. They were examined microbiologically at 7 day intervals for total counts obtained under (1) aerobic, (2) CO(2) enriched or (3) anaerobic conditions; B. thermosphacta; pseudomonad and Enterobacteriaceae counts. Off-odour asses...

Evaluation and predictive modeling of shelf life of minced beef stored in high-oxygen modified atmosphere packaging at different temperatures.

The aims were: (1) to follow the freshness decay of minced beef stored in high-oxygen modified atmosphere packaging at different temperatures (4.3, 8.1 and 15.5 degrees C) by applying traditional methods (microbiological counts, color evaluation, thiobarbituric acid assay TBA, headspace gas composition) and e-nose; (2) to model the decay kinetics to obtain information about the maximum shelf li...

Vacuum or Modified Atmosphere Packaging and Edta-nisin Treatment to Increase Poultry Product Shelf Life

Effects of Chitosan Coating and Modified Atmosphere Packaging on Quality Attributes of the Cucumber (Royal Cultivar) and Modeling the Vegetable Shelf-Life

Background and Objectives: Cucumber includes a short postharvest life and loses its quality fast. Novel technologies such as coating and modified atmosphere packaging are promising methods in preserving fresh products. Therefore, the aim of this study was to use a combination of chitosan coating and modified atmosphere packaging to preserve quality attributes of the cucumber Royal var. and to e...
