Impacts of packaging conditions on shelf-life quality of fresh-cut ‘Lushanxiang’ kiwifruit were investigated during 12 d of storage at 4 °C. Fruit slices were wrapped in 64 μm polypropylene (PP) film flushing with high CO2 (40% or 10%) atmosphere or passive modified atmospheres (air). Measurements of firmness, total phenolic content, chlorophyll and microbial growth were evaluated over time. Active packaging with the initial 10% CO2 plus 5% O2 was the most effective in maintaining flesh firmness, total phenolic and chlorophyll content, which was still 11N, 0.75 mg/mL and 0.09 mg/g respectively. Both 40% and 10% CO2 active modified packaging significantly inhibited the microbial grows. Further researches are needed to evaluate the sensory aspects, as well as to characterize the flesh translucency phenomenon of fresh-cut kiwifruits.

The quality of kiwifruit with three different maturities were studied on the shelf life. Different maturity of kiwifruits were stored at 0±0.5°Cfor 50 days and then taken them at 20±0.5°C for 12 days.Results showed that the kiwifruits with the firmness of 13kg cm-2 can keep a relative good quality during the shelf life.

Shelf life of horticultural commodities is dependent on postharvest handling but also on a wide range of pre-harvest factors, which include genetic and environmental parameters. This study was conducted to explore the influence of cultivar, leaf position, and piece position on the leaf on visual quality of fresh-cut butterhead lettuce as well as the effect of a wide range of cultivation seasons on the postharvest quality and shelf life of baby leaves (spinach and ‘wild’ rocket). Six butterhead lettuce cultivars were used (cultivated soilless in an unheated plastic greenhouse) while the effect of leaf position on the plant (outer and inner leaves) and the piece position on the leaf (piece one close to the leaf base and piece four close to the top) were also evaluated. Baby leaves were cultivated under an unheated plastic greenhouse for winter production and under a nethouse for the rest of the growing season, with a total of five and seven sampling dates for spinach and ‘wild’ rocket respectively. The cultivar of butterhead lettuce had a significant effect on postharvest quality of fresh-cut product but more important was the piece position on the leaf. When this was closer to the base of the leaf, there was more browning on cut edges and limited shelf life for the fresh-cut lettuce. The result was associated in one tested cultivar with PAL activity, which was higher by 106% for piece one compared to piece four as an average for the whole storage period. The growing season of baby leaves had a great impact on their shelf life, with the season of mild environmental conditions achieving the highest marketability.

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of chlorine, packaging and storage conditions on quality and shelf life of tomato. Tomato treated with chlorine; packed in perforated (0.25%) polyethylene bag and kept at ambient (Temperature 20-25°C & relative humidity 70-90%) condition resulted in substantial reduction in losses caused by decay and weight loss. This treatment combination also considerably delayed compositional changes in TSS, total sugar, reducing sugar, vitamin-C, B-carotene, etc. Under this condition, shelf life of tomato had extended upto 17 days as compared to non-treated and kept in ambient condition without packaging or packed in gunny bag for 7 days only. Key Words: Postharvest treatments, shelf-life, quality of tomato. doi: 10.3329/bjar.v33i4.2291 Bangladesh J. Agril. Res. 33(4) : 579-585, December 2008
