Modified atmosphere packaging of sweetcorn.

 

Problems with the characteristics of the film used in modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) of sweetcorn are assessed and current research into the use of microperforated film for extending shelf-life in simulated commercial marketing of sweetcorn is discussed. In trials with cv. Supersweet, the best results were obtained with unperforated film or film with minimum perforation (one 0.4 mm hole/6.5 cm2). Cobs packed in unperforated polypropylene film had a reduced rate of toughening, weight loss and loss of sweetness but they tended to produce off-odours. Packing the cobs with the sheath still attached but partly cut away to reveal the seeds was the best treatment for both storage and visual presentation.
