ABSTRACT
Fresh‐cut spinach leaves were stored for 4 days at 15C and 75% relative humidity under modified atmosphere packaging to assess the impact of differential in‐pack gas atmospheres generated through different packaging films and variable in‐pack weight on the quality of stored produce. After 4 days of storage, retention of chlorophyll, β‐carotene and ascorbic acid was better in low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) packages than in polypropylene (PP) packages. LDPE film‐packaged samples had higher phenolic content than PP film‐packaged samples. Low in‐pack O2 (1–2 kPa) along with the buildup of CO2 (8–10 kPa) seems to have enhanced the retention of antioxidant components, i.e., β‐carotene and ascorbic acid, in LDPE packages. This helped in chlorophyll retention and also prevented formation of oxidation compounds of phenols that otherwise caused browning of cut surfaces. Thus, O2 and CO2 permeability of packaging film or in‐pack weight of produce might be such that equilibrated O2 partial pressures remain near to 1–2 kPa so as to affect a beneficial increase in the phenolic content along with concomitant retention of chlorophyll.PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
Fresh‐cut spinach leaves have received an enormous demand due to their utility in various traditional Indian preparations. Shelf life and quality of fresh‐cut produce may be greatly reduced due to high rates of respiration. Traditional packaging and handling techniques reduce the shelf life and sensory quality of fresh‐cut spinach. Temperature control and atmospheric modifications help to maintain produce quality by reducing respiration rate and enhance shelf life by minimizing the adverse effects of cutting. This research focused on evaluation of respiratory behavior of fresh‐cut spinach leaves at a temperature commonly encountered during transportation and retail distribution, i.e., 15C, and the effect of different polymeric films and in‐pack weights on produce quality. The results of the study suggest that packaging of fresh‐cut spinach in polymeric film packages could maintain the sensory quality and reduce degradation of various physicochemical constituents. Utilization of the results for proper design of modified atmosphere packages for this highly perishable produce can prove to be extremely beneficial for safe storage and transportation to urban retail markets. 相似文献2.
Mesophilic Aerobic Population of Fresh-cut Spinach as Affected by Chemical Treatment and Type of Packaging Film 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
ABSTRACT: Fresh-cut spinach was treated with citric acid and ascorbic acid solutions and packaged in mono-oriented polypropylene bags or low-density polyethylene bags. Response surface methodology was used to study the simultaneous effect of chemical treatment and refrigerated storage time on headspace gas composition, mesophilic aerobic population (AP), and pH of fresh-cut spinach. Type of film affected %CO2 , %O2 , and pH but did not influence AP. Chemical treatment reduced initial pH values and initial microbial counts. AP and pH increased during refrigerated storage. The model developed for AP enabled finding acid concentrations that lowered AP below any proposed microbiological criterion at production and consumption stages of fresh-cut spinach stored at 4 °C. 相似文献

Physical (weight, firmness) and compositional (sugars, organic acids, ascorbic acid, phenolic compounds and carotenoids) changes
of red sweet peppers (Capsicum annuum L.) were monitored during 21 days of cold storage (at 7.5 °C); fruits were stored without packaging, packaged in low density
polyethylene bags, or after hot water dipping (53 °C for 4 min) and packaging. Packaging prevented water loss, and preserved
the firmness of the fresh product. Sugars (fructose and glucose) content was practically constant throughout the whole storage
time, for all treatments. A moderate accumulation of citric acid was observed during storage, but no marked effects of packaging
and hot water dipping on citric and malic acid content. Ascorbic acid content slightly increased in unpackaged and packaged
fruits, but not in treated+packaged peppers. Hydroxycinnamics total content seemed not to be affected by cold storage, packaging
or hot water treatment, whereas glycosylated flavonoids showed somewhat lowered levels during storage, particularly in the
case of unpackaged and packaged+treated fruits. Regarding carotenoids content, the effect of the considered storage conditions
seemed to be much smaller than that due to ripening stage. Provitamin A content showed an increasing trend in unpackaged and
packaged fruits; packaged+treated peppers were characterised by a lower retention of provitamin A and a higher level of capsanthin
and cucurbitaxanthin A with respect to not treated fruits. On the whole, packaging and hot water treatment did not produce
noticeable adverse effects on the majority of the examined compositional quality parameters. 相似文献

The purpose of this research is to study effects of an innovative packaging method on the shelf-life of minimally processed green asparagus. The physical–chemical parameters analyzed (weight loss, colour, texture, chlorophyll and citric acid), and monitored by untrained panellists during the cold storage period at 6 °C, showed that pairing of a semi-permeable film with an adsorbent material and immersion in ascorbic acid solution were able to extend the shelf-life of green asparagus. Also, on the basis of the results obtained, a study of the chlorophyll and toughness degradation kinetics of green asparagus was conducted during cold storage. These data showed the toughening of asparagus spears to be faster than chlorophyll degradation. Thus, the former can be used as a reliable quality index to predict the shelf life of such products. 相似文献

The effect of packaging materials [low density polyethylene (LDPE), polypropylene (PP)] and storage environment [modified atmospheric packaging (MAP)] on shelf life enhancement of bell pepper in terms of quality attributes such as physiological weight loss, ascorbic acid, texture, surface colour and subjective quality analysis have been studied at ambient and refrigerated condition. Different packaging techniques used for the experiment were MAP with LDPE, MAP with PP, MAP in perforated LDPE films, MAP in perforated PP films, shrink packaging with bi-axially oriented PP (BOPP) film and vacuum packaging with PP film. The in-pack bell pepper created a suitable headspace environment with low O2 and high CO2 concentrations, which resulted in a better retention of freshness of the vegetables and its marketability. Shrink packaging with BOPP film could not yield better result under ambient storage because of high water vapor transmission rate of the film and consequently loss of turgidity of the vegetables. Among different packaging techniques and storage conditions, MAP with PP film in refrigerated condition was found to be the best followed by vacuum pack with PP film in refrigerated condition and could be used to store for 20 days for bell pepper with maintenance of texture, colour, ascorbic acid and marketability. It is also inferred that under ambient conditions, bell pepper could be stored for 4 days using ventilated LDPE and PP as MAP storage. Further studies are needed to evaluate the sensory aspects, as well as to microbiological evaluation to characterize the fresh bell pepper during storage. 相似文献

Changes in post-harvest phytochemical qualities of broccoli florets during ambient and refrigerated storage 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effect of ambient and refrigerated storage temperature on post-harvest phytochemical qualities of broccoli florets was investigated during storage. Fresh broccoli florets were packed in polypropylene (PP) micro-perforated film bags and stored, under open ambient storage conditions (15 ± 1 °C, 55 ± 2% RH), and laboratory refrigerated storage (4 ± 0.5 °C, 50 ± 2% RH) for a total period of 144 h. Quality of broccoli florets was evaluated in terms of physiological weight loss (PLW), ascorbic acid content, chlorophyll content, β-carotene and total antioxidant activity. Samples packed in PP micro-perforated film showed significantly (P < 0.05) lower losses of PLW, ascorbic acid, chlorophyll, β-carotene and total antioxidant activity (5.51%, 4.53%, 18.9%, 4.04% and 16.4%, respectively), during storage for up to 144 h under refrigerated conditions. For better phytochemical retention, the broccoli florets should be packed in PP micro-perforated film bags and stored under refrigerated conditions. 相似文献

Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) is increasingly popular for meat, but raw, chilled pork in vacuum or anoxic environments has a purple color. The retail shelf‐life of pork chops dipped in 500 ppm ascorbic acid, 250 ppm citric acid, or no acid dip and stored at 1 °C before simulated retail display in MAP with gas exchange or air‐permeable packaging after vacuum pouch storage was determined. The 80% N2:20% CO2 in MAP was exchanged with 80% O2:20% CO2, and chops were removed from vacuum packages and overwrapped with permeable film (VP‐PVC) on the 7th day before simulated retail display at 4 °C. Shelf‐life traits were determined at 1, 7, 8, 10, 12, and 14 d postpackaging. The pH values changed with time, but returned to post‐dipped, prepackaged levels at the end of simulated retail storage. Weight loss of chops increased (P < 0.05) in VP‐PVC compared with MAP. The a* values increased (P < 0.05) and L* and b* values decreased during simulated retail display, with higher L*, a*, and b* color values for chops in MAP than VP‐PVC. Log numbers of psychrotrophic microorganisms were higher (P < 0.05) on VP‐PVC samples than for chops in MAP on days 12 and 14. Psychrotrophic counts on ascorbic acid‐treated samples were decreased compared with citric acid or no dipping on pork during simulated retail display. Pork chops in MAP with gas exchange had lighter and redder color, increased weight retention, decreased psychrotrophic counts, and increased lipid oxidation compared with conventional vacuum and overwrap packaging systems. 相似文献

Effect of film and temperature on the sensory, microbiological and nutritional quality of minimally processed cauliflower 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The effect of atmosphere modification, generated using three different packaging films, on the quality of cauliflower minimally processed when stored at 4 or 8 °C for up 20 days was evaluated. The colour, texture, weight loss, sensory attributes, as well as microbial counts and sugars and ascorbic acid content were determined. The atmosphere generated with the perforated polyvinylchloride (PVC) film was hardly modified, whereas the other two films (non-perforated PVC and polypropylene films) originated changes in CO2 and O2 levels during storage. The different packaging conditions and storage temperature influenced yellowing. An increase in shear force was observed. Weight losses were below 5%. Mesophiles and Pseudomonas counts were below 7 log CFU g−1 , the populations being lower with film B and film C than with film A. Cauliflower maintained an acceptable appearance in all the films studied. Total sugars decreased about 27% after 20 days of storage, whereas ascorbic acid did not change. 相似文献

Storage quality of minimally processed (MP) bunched onions, as affected by plastic film packaging, was investigated to determine the optimum packing method for this vegetable product. Five different packaging treatments, including two passive modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), two active MAP and a moderate vacuum packaging (MVP), were used for MP bunched onions. Quality attributes of the samples were evaluated periodically in terms of weight loss, colour, decay ratio, microbial counts and sensory properties during storage at 10 °C for 28 days. Various sealed‐packaging treatments did not significantly influence changes in colour of white stem and green leaf tissues, flesh weight loss and microbiological populations including mesophiles, psychrotrophs and lactic acid bacteria. However, sensory attributes and disease incidence were affected by packaging type. MVP with a gas‐permeable plastic film retained better quality bunched onions, with reduced microbial decay and visual sensory aspects, as compared with the other packages. 相似文献

Second-order polynomial models were used to relate the independent variables, temperature, relative humidity and storage time, to the quality attributes (electrolyte leakage, chlorophylls, weight loss, humidity and headspace gas composition inside packages before and after packaging) of ready-to-eat spinach leaves. Results show that while waiting for processing the best conditions to assure high quality spinach leaves before packaging were 4 °C, 83 % RH and 4 h. The weight loss of spinach leaves was time-dependent: increasing the exposure time under these conditions decreased the amount of wet leaves before packaging. Under the same conditions, the electrolyte leakage was lower (4.63 %) and the chlorophyll content (45.44) was higher. After packaging and while waiting for dispatch, temperature most affected the package headspace atmosphere. Indeed, an increase in storage temperature from 3 to 7 °C led to a significant increase in respiration. The best combination of conditions in the high-care room was 3 °C, 74 % relative humidity for a maximum of 1 day before dispatch. In this case, the moisture content (0.46 %) and electrolyte leakage (4.16 %) were lower and the chlorophyll content (43.37) and oxygen concentration inside the packages of ready-to-eat spinach leaves (19.55 kPa) were higher. 相似文献

Quality attributes of packaged and unpackaged vegetables generally decreased nonlinearly during storage at 10°C or 20°C, and most of the decrease was greater at 20°C than at 10°C. Packaging reduced weight loss of green beans and spinach kept at 20°C; and reduced chlorophyll loss of green beans at 10°C and of spinach at 20°C. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) benefited by packaging of green beans and spinach kept at 10°C. Packaging had an effect on thiamin (vitamin B1) of only spinach held at 10°C and 20°C and had no effect on riboflavin (vitamin B2). Loss of these quality attributes appears to be enhanced with water loss. 相似文献

Shredded lettuce was packaged in sealed bags of monooriented polypropylene (OPP) film and also in polyethylene (PE) trays overwrapped with a multilayer polyolefin (RD106) or plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) film; and stored at 4C in a refrigerated case during 8 days. Chemical treatment by dipping in a 0.3% ascorbic acid /0.3% citric acid solution did not significantly affect changes in microbial populations or visual sensory attributes. Type of package was not a significant factor for microorganism populations, but was significant (p<0.001) for changes in gas composition and visual sensory attributes. The modified atmosphere within the packages changed from normal air composition to about 1.5% O2/12% CO2 for OPP bags and to about 17–18% O2/1–2% CO2 for PVC-PE trays and RD106-PE trays after 8 days of storage. The visual sensory quality of the product was retained better in OPP bags than in the other ones. 相似文献

Fresh carrots (Daucus carota L cv ‘Nantes’) were packed in Netlon and ventilated low‐density polyethylene bags and stored in ambient, cool chamber and cool store conditions. Blanching and drying conditions were standardised and the sliced carrots were dehydrated to 7–9% moisture content using the best blanching and drying combination. Dehydrated carrots were packed in single and double layers of high‐density polyethylene bags and stored in ambient and cool store conditions for 9 months. The shelf‐life of fresh carrots varied from 3 to 20 days depending on the packaging and storage condition. A reduction in β‐carotene and ascorbic acid content and an increase in electrolyte leakage were observed during storage of fresh carrots. Blanching and drying caused a significant reduction in β‐carotene and ascorbic acid content, which further decreased during storage of dried product. The storage study of dried product showed that retention of β‐carotene and ascorbic acid was better in double‐packed and cool‐stored samples, and it also showed minimum browning during storage. © 2000 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

Katahdin and Russet Burbank potatoes, treated with isopropyl N-3(-chlorophenl) carbamate CIPC and stored for four months at 5C in either mesh or polyethylene bags (two packaging materials frequently used for potato storage), were tested for enzymatic discoloration, phenolic and ascorbic acid concentration. CIPC residues in tubers stored in polyethylene bags were significantly (p < 0.0l) higher than those stored in mesh bags. Tubers stored in polyethylene showed significantly (p<0.05) higher discoloration and phenolic concentration, and lower ascorbic acid concentration than those stored in mesh bags. Differences in CIPC retention of the tubers stored in the two packaging materials may have been responsible for some of the differences in quality factors since CIPC was shown to significantly (p<0.0l) increase the enzymatic discoloration and phenolic concentration, and decrease the ascorbic acid concentration of both cultivars. 相似文献

Biochemical, microbiological and sensory changes during shelf‐life at ?1 °C were determined in shrimp (Panaeus aztecus) previously dipped in ascorbic acid, citric acid, potassium sorbate and 4‐hexyl resorcinol solutions using face‐centred central composite design. Microbiological count, trimethylamine and hypoxantine production were measured. The lowest level of the total psychrotrophic bacteria, hypoxantine and trimethylamine were found in samples dipped in all containing chemicals solutions comparing to control treatment. Sensory studies showed that treatment A (ascorbic acid 4.50, citric acid 0.12, potassium sorbate 18.60 and 4‐hexyl resorcinol 0.25, all g L?1) and B (ascorbic acid 4.37, citric acid 1.26, potassium sorbate 7.03 and 4‐hexyl resorcinol 0.25, all g L?1) did not alter the typical sensory features of shrimp and were effective at delaying the bitter off‐flavour formation for 26 days. This study constitutes a promising alternative to extent shelf‐life of shrimp kept at ?1 °C without freezing. 相似文献
