Quality evaluations of green beans in different modified atmosphere conditions.

Author(s) : PALA M., DAMARLI E., ALIKASIFOGLU K.

Summary

Modified-atmosphere packaging technology applied with cold storage is one of the most commonly used techniques to preserve the quality of foodstuffs. Fresh green bean is a very perishable product and it also has a very short shelf life in cold storage. In the study, the effect of different modified-atmosphere conditions on the shelf life and quality parameters of green beans were investigated. As a result of the study, the shelf life of unpacked green beans stored at 6 deg C, 90-95% relative humidity was found 14 days, whereas those of green beans packed under different modified-atmosphere conditions were found 26 days.
