Abstract

Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) has been known for many years and its use has become a common practice in the conservation of fruits and vegetables. The present drawbacks of MAP using polymeric film pouch are long time and high labor involving in packing, handling and transportation of fruits and vegetables. In this study corrugated cardboard boxes with polymeric film lining on both sides of the cardboard were used to overcome the above mentioned drawback. Experiment has been performed to determine quality changes of broccoli. Consequently, MA corrugated cardboard box could successfully extend the shelf life of broccoli at 10°C. Then a model was developed to predict the gas concentration in MA corrugated cardboard box. Results showed that calculated gas concentrations have a good agreement with measured values.
