Author(s) : RIO M. A. del

Summary

THE EFFECTS OF THE USE OF 3 TYPES OF PACKAGINGS ON THE QUALITY OF DOUGLAS STRAWBERRIES WERE STUDIED: RIGID POLYSTYRENE (PP), RIGID POLYSTYRENE COVERED WITH CELLULOSIC FILM (PPC) AND PLASTIC NET, AS WELL AS THE EFFECTS OF 3 PRECOOLING PROCEDURES: IN TUNNEL, UNDER VACUUM OR IN A CONVENTIONAL COLD ROOM. WEIGHT LOSSES ARE MINIMUM WITH PPC PACKAGING AND PRECOOLING IN A TUNNEL OR COLD ROOM. WITH STRAWBERRIES PACKAGED IN PP AND PRECOOLED IN COLD ROOMS, ATMOSPHERES ENRICHED WITH 5 AND 15% CO2 DURING 6 DAYS AND 1 DAY, RESPECTIVELY, WERE TESTED.
