Effect of Modified Atmosphere Packaging on Nutritional Value and Quality of Honey Pomelo

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effects of MA packaging on nutritional value and quality of honey pomelo have been investigated during storage at 8 . Results show that 25μm-thick PE films maintained more suitable headspace gas concentrations for preservation of pomelo than 50μm-thick PE films and microperforated 25μm-thick PE films (control). The 25μm -thick PE films have the highest value on quality parameters, which were 12.2%, 0.9%, 47.1mg/100g and 44.8mg/100g for total soluble solid, titratable acidity, vitamin C and total phenolic content after 150 days of storage, respectively. This study suggests that MA packaging with 25μm-thick PE films show the best effects in maintaining the quality of honey pomelo during storage at 8 .
