“…These two independent studies concluded the high organoleptic properties of ready-to-eat arils with a reduced microbial load and food safety risks. Likewise, studies were conducted to improve the pomegranate fruit quality by short-term hypobaric treatment combined with MAP [8] and pre-cooling as well as MAP [9]. A more recent review highlighted the need of MAP to reduce postharvest losses and to improve quality of the fresh-cut pomegranates [10,11].…”

Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) has been widely applied to extend the shelf-life of fresh-cut produces, such as ready-to-eat pomegranate arils. However, many studies used MAP to extend the shelf-life of arils at 3, 4, and 15 °C. The evidence suggested that MAP can extend the shelf-life of arils at an ambient temperature. Therefore, we attempted to extend the shelf-life of ready-to-eat pomegranate arils using active MAP at an ambient temperature and evaluated its chemical, quality, and microbial properties. Samples were flushed with specific gas compositions of oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) at an ambient temperature and 60 ± 2% relative humidity (RH). The findings demonstrated that active MAP increased the titratable acidity (0.32–3.64%), anthocyanins (0.27–0.42 g/L), reducing sugars (1.06–10.13%), and total soluble solids (15–19 °Brix), while it decreased the pH (3.20–3.54) and hardness (4.60–9.40 N) with a microbial load of ≤5 log CFU/g at ambient temperature for 5 days. Ultimately, active MAP could be an effective technique to be used in ready-to-eat produce industries and has the potential to guarantee a longer shelf-life at ambient temperature without the use of refrigerator facilities.

Narın sahip olduğu yüksek besleyici değeri ve benzersiz duyusal özellikleri sebebiyle tüketici talebi ve ticari üretimi son yıllarda artmıştır. Buna ek olarak, nar biyoaktif bileşenler açısından zengin bir kaynaktır ve bu yüzden tüketimi sağlık bakımından birçok fayda sağlamaktadır. Klimakterik olmayan doğasına rağmen, pazarlanabilirliği ve tüketici tarafından kabulü; soğuk zararı, çatlama, kabukta kahverengileşme ve çürüme gibi çeşitli faktörlerden sınırlanmaktadır. Bu problemleri önlemek için farklı hasat sonrası uygulamalar kullanılmaktadır. Bu yöntemler; ısı uygulamaları, modifiye atmosfer ambalajlama, yenilebilir kaplamalar, kimyasal ajanlar ve engel teknolojisini içermektedir. Bu nedenle derlemenin amacı; narın sağlığa faydası, ekonomik değeri ve hasat sonrasında kullanılan farklı teknolojilerin bütün nar ve nar taneleri üzerine etkisini güncel kaynaklardan yararlanarak özetlemektir.
