Application of Modified Atmosphere Packaging on Quality of Selected Vegetables: A Review

Abstract

The most common persistent organic pollutants (POPs) occurring were Dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane (DDT) and its metabolites (found in 21 % of samples tested in 1998 and 22 % in 1999), and dieldrin (found in 10 % of samples tested in 1998 and 12 % in 1999) while residues of fi ve and more chemicals could be occurring in a single food item (Schafer

Thermoelectric Energy Harvesting for Oxygen Determination in Refrigerated Intelligent Packaging

“…These OS are able to reduce the concentration of oxygen to levels below 0.01% [4]. In MAP technology, a process of gas flushing substitutes the open-air atmosphere inside the package with a combination of gases where the oxygen concentration is reduced to values in the range 0.5%-5% [11]. In an alternative approach known as high-oxygen MAP, the oxygen concentration is not reduced but increased to levels higher than 70% [12].…”
