Summary

Highbush blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum L. 'Bluecrop') were packed into two film types with different gas permeances and filled with high-oxygen atmosphere (40% O2) or normal air, and stored at 4 and 12 °C. Sensory and chemical attributes were assessed. The storage temperature was more important than film type and initial atmosphere modification. Important sensory variables for blueberries stored at low temperature were acidic taste and blueberry flavour. Blueberries stored in film with high gas permeance gave the highest scores for sensory texture and blueberry flavour.
