Post harvest preservation of fruits and vegetables; study on carrots preserved by modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) technology.

A study was conducted to determine the effect of modified atmosphere packaging technology on postharvest preservation of carrots. Peeled and non-peeled carrots were randomly packed (3/bag) in different plastic films: 3 packaging polyethylene films and one polyvinylidene. Film number 1 was the most permeable, and number 2 and 3 films were almost similar. Film number 4 was considered as barrier film, allowing no significant change in atmosphere after 24 h. The packed carrots were stored in the dark at 7 deg C for 28 days. It was observed that peeling treatment, film type and days of storage had significant effect on CO2 and O2 percentages within bags of carrots stored at 7 deg C. The bags with peeled carrots contained significantly lesser CO2 (9.4%) and more O2 (16.1%) than non-peeled carrots (17.6% CO2 and 14.3% O2) during the 28-day storage period.
