in the present research, effects of modified atmosphere packaging (map) includingthree gas combinations and two packaging films (low density polyethylene (ldpe) andpolypropylene (pp)) on postharvest quality and storage-life of 'elberta' peach wereevaluated. the study was conducted as a factorial experiment based on crd(completely randomized design) with three replicates for 9 weeks. f...

‘zaferani’ peach, an important native iranian fruit, is a highly perishable fruit of limited shelf life. in the present research, effects of modified atmosphere packaging with three gas combinations (5% co2 + 2% o2, 10% co2 + 2% o2 and air) and two packaging films (polypropylene and low density polyethylene (ldpe)) on physicochemical characteristics and shelf life of 'zaferani' peach ...

saffron is the most important iranian non oil export. improper conditions of saffron flower storage increases microbial contamination and decreases saffron quality. this study was done for prolonging the shelf life of saffron flower in modified atmosphere packaging and subsequent to producing a new method for exporting the fresh saffron flower as cut flower. saffron flowers were packed in a pol...

respiration is one of the important factors to be considered in a determination of the quality of cut flowers during their postharvest preservation period. modified atmospheric packaging (map) is an effective way of reducing respiration rate along with increasing vase life while the quality of cut flowers also well maintained. this research was conducted on the basis of a factorial experiment, ...

background and objectives: edible parts of pomegranate fruits are a rich source of bioactive compounds. the present research examines the effect of modified atmosphere packaging on the fruit physico-chemical and microbial properties of two commercial pomegranate cultivars grown in iran. materials and methods: the arils were packaged and stored under four different atmospheres. all of the packag...

this research was carried out in order to investigate on the effects of packaging type and storage temperature on qualitative and quantitative characteristics of dried melon. “thashkandi” and ‘ khatoni” melon varieties؛ osmotic solutions of 0% and 10% sucrose and cabinet dryer were applied for dried melon production. dried fruits were packed with modified atmosphere (pe-pa film, 85 micron thick...

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of three different packing methods including modified atmosphere, vacuum and common packaging on chemical, microbial and sensorial quality and shelf life of hot smoked Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) during storage at refrigerated temperature. For hot smoking, rainbow trout were gutted and cut in butterfly form and washed. Fish gutted br...
