“…EPS trays are white, manufactured from polystyrene, with a master batch and a nucleating agent, and consist of air pores [12,13]. The air pores reduce the strength and density of the packaging but increase the insulation performance as well as the volume [14] Another alternative type of wholesale fresh tomato packaging that has been receiving international recognition is stamped paper (SP) trays. SP trays are manufactured from fibrous materials from wood and recycled paper turned into pulp, which is then bleached and coated with Kraft paper.…”

Post-harvest loss continues to be a significant problem in the food industry. Different packaging materials, designed to reduce fruit damage, are anticipated for various applications in the supply chain. Recently, stamped paper (SP) and expandable polystyrene (EPS) trays have been introduced as tomato retail packaging. Although the combination of paper trays and clear plastic are still not 100% biodegradable packaging, they are promising alternatives to the heavy utilisation of petrochemical-based polymers. This study investigated the effects of different packaging materials and storage conditions on the ‘Nema-Netta’ tomatoes’ quality attributes. The treatments consisted of a stamped paper (SP) + polyvinyl chloride (PVC), expandable polystyrene (EPS) + polyvinyl chloride (PVC), stamped paper (SP)+ flow wrap, expandable polystyrene (EPS) + flow wrap, polypropylene (PP), and unpackaged tomatoes stored at cold and ambient conditions. Firmness, physiological weight loss (PWL), pH value, titratable acidity (TA) and total sugars were evaluated at seven-day intervals, over 28 days. Temperature and relative humidity at cold storage ranged between 8–12 °C, 78–80% RH and 22–26 °C, 68–72% RH at ambient storage conditions. The packaging and storage conditions significantly affected the PWL, firmness, pH, TA and total sugars. Samples in the EPS Tray combined with the PVC wrap at cold storage maintained the quality of the tomatoes better than the other packaging. The combination of packaging and cold storage created an ideal environment for maintaining the quality of tomatoes. The relative differences between EPS Tray + PVC (non-biodegradable) and SP Tray + PVC (biodegradable) were less than 5% in multiple tests.

“…As mudanças no tamanho da família e na estrutura social, junto aos interesses dos consumidores por alimentos saudáveis e convenientes, são fatores que impulsionam os produtores e a indústria a desenvolverem tecnologias e manuseio pós-colheita que visam preservar a qualidade e prolongar vida útil das hortaliças prontas para consumo. Em busca por texturas e sabores mais suaves, as hortaliças "baby leaf" surgem como uma nova categoria de produtos vegetais prontos para consumo (Lee, Lee, 2012, Martínez-Sánchez et al, 2012, Oliveira et al, 2016, Choe, Yu & Wang, 2018. "Baby leaf" são hortaliças colhidas em um estádio antecipado.…”

No presente estudo foram investigadas as variações ao longo do armazenamento, na qualidade pós colheita de “baby leaf” de agrião da terra acondicionado em diferentes embalagens. O uso de embalagem tipo PET PCR mostrou não ser viável para o armazenamento refrigerado de “baby leaf” de agrião da terra, já as embalagens zip lock de polietileno 100µm e polietileno de baixa densidade 50µm selada, demonstraram ser boas opções. O experimento foi então conduzido utilizando as embalagens zip lock de polietileno 100µm e polietileno de baixa densidade 50µm selada, sob a temperatura média de refrigeração de 6ºC±1 e umidade relativa de 87%±1,6. A avalição das amostras foi realizada nos tempos 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 e 12 dias. As análises realizadas foram percentual de perda de massa, monitoramento de CO2 dentro da embalagem, coloração, pH, acidez titulável, clorofila total, carotenoides totais, teor de fenólicos totais e capacidade antioxidante. A embalagem de zip lock de polietileno 100µm determinou menor acúmulo de CO2, maior preservação da cor verde, maior estabilização na degradação de carotenoides e uma menor depleção da capacidade antioxidante do “baby leaf” de agrião. Esses resultados sugerem que a embalagem zip lock de polietileno 100µm, proporciona melhores condições de armazenamento, conferindo ao “baby leaf” de agrião uma vida útil de até 12 dias, garantindo um produto de qualidade ao consumidor.

“…The advantage of microgreens growing compared with sprouts is a low risk of the micro-organisms development (Treadwell et al, 2010). Young plants lose quality after harvest very quickly and therefore immediate packaging and refrigeration is important (Lee and Lee, 2012).…”

Young plants, also called "microgreens", are different kinds of vegetables, grains and herbs grown to the phenological phase of cotyledons, or to the development of the first pair of true leaves. The aim of the work was to study the influence of lighting on the young plants quality in selected 11 vegetables species. The experiment was carried out during the winter time in a heated greenhouse of the Botanical gardens of SUA in Nitra. For the lighting there were used linear fluorescent lamps FLUORA T8 -L 36W / 77 -g13 during the whole period of cultivation. According to our results, the lighting had a positive impact on the quality of harvested plants. The higher contents of vitamin C, chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b were estimated in comparison with the control variant without lighting.
