“…To reach this purpose, the perforation size should not exceed 100-500 µm, and the perforation level should be optimized, preferably based on mathematical modeling [36]. Perforation-mediated MAP serves, nowadays, as the basis for modern industrially applied technologies for the preservation of fresh produce [39,40].…”

Marketing melons (Cucumis melo) as convenient fresh-cut products is popular nowadays. However, damage inflicted by fresh-cut processing results in fast quality degradation and food safety risks. The life of fresh-cut produce can be extended by a modified atmosphere (MA), either generated in a package by tissue respiration (a passive MA) or injected by gas flushing (an active MA). This work investigated the effect of passive and active MA formed in packages of different perforation levels on the quality of fresh-cut melons of two genetic groups: C. melo var. cantalupensis, characterized by climacteric fruit behavior, and non-climacteric C. melo inodorus. The best product preservation was achieved in passive MA packages: non-perforated for inodorus melons and micro-perforated for cantalupensis ones. The optimal packages allowed for the preservation of both genotypes for 14 days at 6–8 °C. The major factors limiting the shelf life of fresh-cut melons were microbial spoilage, translucency disorder and hypoxic fermentation associated with cantalupensis melons with enhanced ethyl acetate accumulation. Inodorus melons were found to be preferable for fresh-cut processing since they were less prone to fermented off-flavor development.

“…Strictly speaking, the levels of O 2 and CO 2 should be controlled within a narrow range. MA storage also belongs in the category of atmosphere storage, but in this case, there is allowance for wider ranges of O 2 and CO 2 concentrations, without any constant index [21]. Generally, the results from CA storage are superior because of the more strictly controlled gas (and temperature) conditions; in MA storage, gases in the packaging material are affected by respiration of F&V, and there may be interaction with surrounding air [22].…”

Respiration and microbial infection are important causes of postharvest spoilage of fruits and vegetables (F&V). Atmosphere storage technology can significantly reduce postharvest losses. This comprehensive review aims to cover recent progress in the application of atmosphere storage to F&V preservation, not only focusing on the effect of gas conditions but also evaluating combination applications involving newer preservation technologies, including ethylene scavengers, high-pressure and decompression technology, ozone, ultraviolet radiation, active packaging, high-voltage electrostatic field, plasma treatment, and pulse-controlled atmosphere. Appropriate choice of storage conditions optimal for each F&V is essential since the physiological properties and sensory qualities are affected by them. The combination of atmosphere storage with these emerging technologies could contribute to significant reductions in food loss during storage.
