Summary
Effects of potassium permanganate gas absorbent and storage at 2 deg C on quality changes in modified-atmosphere packaged diced onions was studied. A 3 mil packaging film resulted in equilibrated oxygen of 2.65% and carbon dioxide level of 3.65%. Gas absorbent resulted in reduced ethylene, carbon dioxide and sulfur volatiles. Maximum shear force values and total phenolics increased during storage, but were not affected by gas absorbent. Glucose and fructose concentrations declined within one day after processing, which coincided with an increase in sucrose. Other results are given.
