Effect of modified atmosphere on internal browning of "Smooth Cayenne" pineapples.

Author(s) : CHITARRA A. B., SILVA J. M. da

Summary

Smooth Cayenne pineapples at green-matured stage were harvested and submitted to various treatments: control, dipping in wax, wrapping in different foil thickness, wrapping and dipping, storing at 8 and 5 °C and 90% relative humidity for 30 days, and 20 °C for 8 days. All treatments, compared with the control, presented lower levels of peroxydase and polyphenoloxydase activities and higher textural values. Internal browning was observed only from the fourth day in all the treatments.
