Onderzoek: Efficiëntie van verschillende kunststoffolies in MAP voor appels

Researchers at the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais – UFMG in Brazil evaluated the efficiency of different plastic films in modifying the atmosphere around Eva apples. The fruits were separated into 3 treatment groups: polypropylene, low density polyethylene, and high density polyethylene packing.
The high density polyethylene film treatment did not show a decrease in ethylene production during storage and allowed the fruits to maintain a greater firmness and smaller percentage of mass loss. Moreover, the storage under modified atmosphere allowed the preservation of quality for up to seven months. An article about the research is published in Food Science and Technology.
