Controlling Temperature and Water Loss to Maintain Ascorbic Acid Levels in Stra...

Chandler’, ‘Oso Grande’ and ‘Sweet Charlie’ strawberries were stored for 8 days at 1 or 10°C, or 4 days at 20°C, either unwrapped or wrapped in PVC film to retard were conducted during the 1 water loss. Total ascorbic acid (AA) content was expressed on a dry weight basis to correct for water loss differences between treatments. Loss of AA was low and did not differ between wrapped treatments at 1 and 10°C, but ...

Development of perforation-mediated modified atmosphere packaging to preserve f...

The use of perforations as a means of obtaining large size containers suitable for modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) would greatly enhance the applicability of this technology for storage and distribution of fresh and minimally processed products. General concepts of MAP, and advantages and drawbacks of using perforations to achieve it are discussed. Products for which perforated packages can be used are list...

Quality of pink tomatoes (cv. buffalo) after storage under controlled atmospher...

Greenhouse-grown pink tomatoes (cv. Buffalo) were stored in air or in a controlled atmosphere (CA) of 4% O2 plus 2% CO2, to study the effect of CA at chilling and nonchilling temperatures on fruit quality characteristics. Tomatoes could be stored in CA at 12C for three weeks with no major changes in fruit appearance. CA was effective in delaying color development and ripening at this temperature. The soluble so...

Quality of strawberries after storage is reduced by a short delay to cooling

The effects of delay to cooling and storage were evaluated on postharvest quality and decay of fresh harvested strawberries. 'Chandler' strawberries were forced-air precooled after delays of 0 or 6 hours at 30°C to study the effect of delaying precooling on decay, and physical and chemical characteristics of strawberries. For decay experiments the fruits were previously inoculated with Botrytis cinerea and Rhiz...

Effects of delays to cooling and wrapping on strawberry quality (cv. Sweet Char...

'Sweet Charlie' strawberries were wrapped with PVC polymeric film, and forced-air precooled after delays of O, 6 or 8 hours at 30°C to study the effect of delaying precooling on physical and chemical quality characteristics of the strawberry. Non-wrapped fruits were used as a control. Evaluations were performed after storage for one week at 1°C plus one day at 20°C. Delaying the precooling resulted in less attr...

Physical and chemical quality characteristics of strawberries after storage are...

Chandler’, ‘Oso Grande’ and ‘Sweet Charlie’ strawberries were forced-air precooled after delays of 0 or 6 h at 30 °C to study the effect of delaying precooling on physical and chemical quality characteristics of strawberry fruit. Fruit pulp temperatures were equilibrated to 30 °C prior to the start of each experiment to minimise water loss differences between treatments. Evaluations were made after storage for ...
