Summary

. READY-TO-USE > GRATED CARROTS WERE PACKAGED IN DIFFERENT FILMS: OXYGEN PERMEABILITY FROM 950 TO 22,000 CC/M2.DAY AT 298 K (25 DEG C) ANDSTORED AT 275, 279 OR 283 K (2, 6 OR 10 DEG C) FOR 10 DAYS. GASEOUS ATMOSPHERE IN PACKS, LACTIC ACID BACTERIA, YEAST COUNTS, EXUDATE AND POTASSIUM ION RELEASED, SUGARS, CAROTENE, ETHANOL AND LACTIC ACID WERE MONITORED. THE RESPIRATION RATE WAS MEASURED. FILMS WITH VERY LOW OXYGEN PERMEABILITY RESULTED IN ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION, HIGH LEAKAGE OF POTASSIUM, AND HIGH LACTIC ACID BACTERIA. WITH HIGH-PERMEABILITY FILMS (BETWEEN 10,000 AND 20,000 CC/M2.DAY), AT 298 K, GRATED CARROTS SHOWED AEROBIC RESPIRATION AND RETAINED GOOD QUALITY. PACKED IN THE MOST PERMEABLE FILM, SUCROSE DECREASED MARKEDLY DURING STORAGE.
