Summary
UNRIPE GREEN CONFERENCE PEARS WITH INITIAL FIRMNESS VALUES OF 46-55 N WERE SEALED IN MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE (MA) LOW DENSITY POLYETHYLENE PILLOW PACKS AND IN PERFORATED CONTROL PACKS ON 3 DATES DURING 1985-1986. IN MA PACKS, EQUILIBRATED ATMOSPHERES CONTAINING 5-9 % CO2 AND LESS THAN 5 % O2 DEVELOPED WITHIN 3 DAYS. CHLOROPHYLL DEGRADATION WAS COMPLETELY INHIBITED BY MA AND RESUMED WHEN PACKS WERE PERFORATED. PEARS RETARDED BY MA PACKAGING FAILED TO DEVELOP THE NORMAL SWEET, AROMATIC FLAVOUR AND SUCCULENT, JUICY TEXTURE EVEN WHEN THE PACKS WERE PERFORATED AFTER 4 DAYS.
