Extending storage potential of de‐hulled fresh pistachios in passive‐modified atmosphere

Background The effects of passive modified‐atmosphere packaging (passive‐MAP) on the postharvest quality of de‐hulled fresh pistachios ( Pistacia vera L. cv. Kerman) stored at cold temperature (0 ± 0.5 °C) and 90 ± 1% relative humidity was investigated with fruits under ambient air condition as the control treatment. The fruit quality parameters measured included kernel firmness, color values ( L * , a * , b * , h °, and C * ), weight loss,...
