Modified atmosphere storage of "Hayward" kiwifruit.

Author(s) : MANOLOPOULOU H., LAMBRINOS G., ASSIMAKI H.

Summary

The control of equilibrium concentration of respiratory gases in fruits packaged in a polymeric film may have an additive effect in extending their postharvest life, by delaying the ripening and senescence process. Hayward kiwifruits were seal-packaged inside low and medium density polyethylene (PE) bags of different thickness and known permeability to oxygen and carbon dioxide. Packaged and control fruits were stored at 0°C and 90% RH. The effect of packaging on the modification of the atmosphere inside PE bags as well as on various physical, chemical and sensory properties was monitored with time.
