Influence of initial gas modification on physicochemical quality attributes and molecular changes in fresh and fresh-cut fruit during modified atmosphere packaging

The quality of fresh and fresh-cut (FC) fruit can be preserved by creating an optimal atmospheric condition around the product. Extensive research has been reported on the application and effects of initial gas modification on fruit quality. Active modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) is a commonly applied postharvest technology to maintain quality and extend shelf life of fresh fruit; however, the response of individual fruit types to the...
