Impact Of Passive Modified Atmosphere Packaging On Physicochemical Properties, Bioactive Compounds, And Quality Attributes Of Sweet Pomegranates, Nurten Selçuk, Mustafa Erkan
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
The effects of two different types of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) on the physicochemical properties, biochemical composition, and storage quality of sweet pomegranate variety Beynarı were investigated during long-term storage. Pomegranates were harvested at the commercial harvest stage and packed in two different commercial types of MAP (MAP1, sealed in packages made of Xtend® film; MAP2, sealed in bags made of ZOEPAC). Unpacked fruits stored in plastic boxes were used as the control. Following packaging treatments, all packed and unpacked fruit samples were stored at 6 ± 0.5 °C and 90 ± 5% relative humidity for 120 days, and they …
