Résumé

Market increase efforts for tropical fruits have been previously limited by short shelf life. A modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) system for pineapple and mango was developed to increase shelf life of the fruits. Sample preparation consisted of hand-peeling, dicing, blanching, dipping in ascorbic acid and packaging. The treatments were: gas mixture (4% O2, 10% CO2 and 86% N2); vacuum packaging; 100% oxygen, and control. Microbial growth, texture, and colour were significantly different between the gas and other treatments. The gas mixture treatment achieved the longest shelf life. Sensory analysis showed a slight difference between fresh and MAP mango and no difference between fresh and MAP pineapple. MAP could be used to extend the shelf life of mango and pineapple.
