Summary

To determine the effect of packaging and storage temperature on the postharvest life and quality of mustard leaf, it was stored at 1.4 and 15 deg C in either perforated polyethylene bags, Cryovac D-955 60 or 100-gauge heat-shrinkable films, or not-bagged. Packaging mustard in perforated bags and Cryovac films significantly reduced weight loss over nonbagged mustard. Bag type had a highly significant effect on CO2 concentration in atmosphere whithin bags of mustard, with higher CO2 concentration occurring in the bags made of Cryovac film.
