Résumé
Different packaging films varying in their permeabilities for CO2 and O2 were used to study the effects on gas concentration and characteristic quality attributes of fresh-cut peeled and unpeeled asparagus (Asparagus officinalis) during shelf life of 4 days at 10 °C and 95% RH, simulating commercial transport and marketing conditions. Unpeeled asparagus showed a higher loss of fresh weight (2-4%) in comparison to peeled and wrapped spears. Moreover, an undesirable increase in firmness occurred in unpeeled spears after 4 days of shelf life, which was associated with changes in the insoluble/soluble pectin ratio and the increase of lignin. Packages with microperforation developed an internal atmosphere leading to a retention of product quality in respect to fresh weight, firmness, textural properties and sugar/acid ratio, and thus a reduction of deterioration and prolonged shelf life.
