Résumé

Retail packages of sweet corn were stored at 2 °C within additional plastic liners. The modified atmosphere (MA), generated in these nested packages by corn respiration, complied with the recommended range of 5-10 kPa CO2 and inhibited mould growth. Opening the liner after transfer to non-refrigerated conditions compensated for the respiration rise caused by elevated temperature, maintained the desirable MA range and prevented fermentation and off-flavour development. The produce kept for 2 weeks at 2 °C within nested packages, and for 4 additional days at 20 °C, and combined relatively low microbial spoilage with acceptable organoleptic quality, provided the liners were open at 20 °C. The method was successfully tested during a trial shipment of sweet corn from Israel to Europe.
