Summary

A study was carried out to determine the O2 permeability of packaging film required to maintain a steady-state O2 concentration of 3% in modified-atmosphere packaging (MAP) of minimally processed romaine lettuce and the extent to which MAP could preserve lettuce quality and extend product shelf life. Bacteria growth, chemical and colour changes were observed, as well as CO2 concentration. Results are given.
