Fig is a very perishable fruit with short postharvest life. Low-cost techniques should be employed to reduce fresh fig losses. The purpose of this study was design passive modified atmosphere packaging (PMAP) extend the shelf-life ‘Dottato’ figs stored at 4 °C for 21 days. Physico-chemical traits and enzymatic non-enzymatic antioxidant systems were evaluated. Storage in PMAP reduced losses weig...

saffron is the most important iranian non oil export. improper conditions of saffron flower storage increases microbial contamination and decreases saffron quality. this study was done for prolonging the shelf life of saffron flower in modified atmosphere packaging and subsequent to producing a new method for exporting the fresh saffron flower as cut flower. saffron flowers were packed in a pol...

in the present research, effects of modified atmosphere packaging (map) includingthree gas combinations and two packaging films (low density polyethylene (ldpe) andpolypropylene (pp)) on postharvest quality and storage-life of 'elberta' peach wereevaluated. the study was conducted as a factorial experiment based on crd(completely randomized design) with three replicates for 9 weeks. f...

background and objectives: edible parts of pomegranate fruits are a rich source of bioactive compounds. the present research examines the effect of modified atmosphere packaging on the fruit physico-chemical and microbial properties of two commercial pomegranate cultivars grown in iran. materials and methods: the arils were packaged and stored under four different atmospheres. all of the packag...

In this paper influence of packaging method (vacuum and modified atmosphere packaging) on lipid oxidative stability and sensory properties of odor and taste of the traditional sausage Petrovská klobása were examined. These parameters were examined during storage period (7 months). In the end of storage period, vacuum packed sausage showed better oxidative stability. Propanal content was signifi...

Fish Protein Concentrate (FPC) is a healthy, sustainable and high nutritive product that produced from fish and protein and other nutrients are more concentrated than in the fresh fish. The aim of this research is to study the sustainability of FPC produced from Kilka (combination of three Caspian Sea Kilka species, Clupeonella engrauliformis, C. grimmi and C. cultriventris which were not ident...
