Shelf life prolongation of cherry tomato using magnesium hydroxide reinforced bio‐nanocomposite and conventional plastic films

This investigation elaborates the effect of storage conditions and packaging materials on the shelf life of cherry tomato stored under passive modified atmosphere packaging (PMAP) in heat-sealed pouches. The fruits were encased with 25 µm thick continuous oriented pectin-based bionanocomposite (PBNC), polypropylene, and low density poly ethylene packages and tested at 30 ± 2 °C relative humidity (RH = 61.2 ± 3%) and 10 ± 0.5 °C (RH = 90 ± 2%)...
