Temperature Storage

This experiment uses “Bashan crisp plum” as the material, uses nano-bags and spontaneous modified atmosphere preservation bags for packaging, combined with 1-MCP fumigation treatment, and stores in a cold storage at 1±1.5℃. The physiological and biochemical measurements are measured every 15 days Indicators to discuss the low-temperature storage effects of different packaging materials. The results showed that the use of nano-bags and air-permeability of 3000mL/bag/24h modified atmosphere packaging can reduce fruit rot, delay the yellowing of the peel, better maintain the fruit texture and organic acid content, and better maintain the original fruit.

Decay Development

Cucumbers are highly perishable and suffer from moisture loss, shriveling, yellowing, peel damage, and decay. Plastic packaging helps to preserve cucumber quality, but harms the environment. We examined the use of compostable modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) with different perforation rates as a possible replacement for conventional plastic packaging materials. The results indicate that all of the tested types of packaging reduced cucumber weight loss and shriveling. However, compostable MAP with micro-perforations that created a modified atmosphere of between 16–18% O2 and 3–5% CO2 most effectively preserved cucumber quality, as demonstrated by reduced peel pitting, the reduced appearance of warts and the inhibition of yellowing and decay development. Overall, micro-perforated compostable packaging extended the storage life of cucumbers under both extended shelf conditions and simulated farm-to-fork supply-chain conditions and thus may serve as a replacement for the plastic packaging currently used to preserve the postharvest quality of cucumbers.
