Modified-atmosphere packaging of strawberry under self-adhesive films.

Author(s) : ARTÉS F., TUDELA J. A., MARÍN J. G., et al.

Summary

'Camarosa' strawberries forced under protected cultivation, were forced-air cooled and packaged in passive modified-atmosphere packaging (MAP). Packages were stored for 4 days at 2 °C, followed by 2 days at 10 °C and by 2 days at 18 °C. Polymeric films composed of polyvinyl chloride and low density polyethylene (LDPE) for MAP technique and perforated polypropylene as control were used. It was concluded that LDPE was the best treatment for keeping strawberry quality and could be a good alternative to polyvinyl chloride.
