Reducing decay and extending shelf life of bell-peppers and mangoes by modified atmosphere packaging. [Poster paper]

1994

Experiments showed that using perforated polyolefin films for mango packaging enabled normal ripening and reduced weight loss and decay compared to a non-sealed control. Delayed ripening of mangoes sealed in non-perforated film was advantageous during prolonged storage. Bell-peppers in sealed-tray packages with modified humidity had lower weight loss and retained better firmness and quality than a non-sealed control.
