Summary

The paper deals with the first part of research aimed to find the best preserving conditions and the shelf-life of fresh-cut ready-to-eat green bell peppers. The results show that the use of the modified atmosphere doesn't improve significantly the product quality. The fresh-cut bell peppers are sensitive to chilling damage, even if this damage can be detected only by visual inspection performed by a trained technician. The storage temperature of 8 deg C doesn't influence the maintenance of the colour and texture so it is considered more suitable to assure good stability of the product. The shelf life of fresh-cut green bell peppers is at least seven days.
