Modified Atmosphere Packaged Cut Iceberg Lettuce:  Effect of Temperature and O2Partial Pressure on Respiration and Quality

Abstract: The effect of oxygen and carbon dioxide partial pressure (p O 2 and p CO 2 , respectively) and temperature on respiratory patterns and quality of cut iceberg lettuce was examined in modified atmosphere (MA) packages. The changes in headspace p O 2 of packaged lettuce with time were related to void volume, storage temperature, mass, and decreasing respiration rate. Uptake of O2 was modeled using a Michaelis−Menten-type equation. At 5 and 10 °C, maximum O2 uptakes were 143 and 213 pmol·g-1·s-1 and the p O … Show more

“…Percent oxygen content in all treatments decreased (Fig. 1) as a result of fresh-cut lettuce leaves breathing and generation of mass losses as water evaporates from fresh-cut lettuce and forming of equilibrium modified atmosphere as reported by Smyth et al,(1998). The decrease in O 2 content and corresponding gas composition in different treatments packed in polypropylene bag was desperate at the end of storage (Fig.…”

“…2). The increase in volatiles might be due to the low oxygen concentration in headspace which might have led to anaerobic respiration in fresh-cut lettuce as reported by Lopez-Galvez et al, (1997), Cameron et al, (1995) and Smyth et al, (1998) in minimally processed lettuce. Acetaldehyde gas was accumulated gradually in all samples irrespective of treatment.…”

“…La técnica de AM es utilizada en la prolongación de la vida de almacenamiento de productos frescos; los efectos fisiológicos bené-ficos de esta técnica son la reducción de la tasa respiratoria, disminución de la acción y biosín-tesis del etileno, control de algunos desórdenes fisiológicos como el daño por frío en los tejidos vegetales y un retraso de la senescencia, esto directamente mediado por presiones parciales bajas en O 2 y/o altas en CO 2 (Yahia, 2009;Parra, 2007). El uso de esta técnica ha sido reportada en albahaca (Camargo, 2008), lechuga (Smyth et al, 1998), cebollín chino (Imahori et al, 2004;2007). Los valores promedio de intensidad respiratoria para cebollín reportados por Sanabria (2004) para una réplica de tres unidades de 100 g cada uno, oscilan entre 117,39 mg CO 2 kg -1 h -1 para producto empacado en bolsa de polietileno y almacenado a 3°C y de 139,35 mg CO 2 kg -1 h -1 para producto almacenado a 18°C el primer día.…”

“…Otra razón para su uso es su similitud con la respiración microbiana, para la que esta ecuación es muy utilizada. Lee et al, (1991), fueron los primeros en sugerir el uso de la ecuación de Michaelis-Menten para describir la tasa de respiración de los productos en función de la presión de O 2 y se ha utilizado para modelizar la tasa respiratoria de manzanas (Andrich et al, 1991;Andrich et al, 1998;Dadzie et al, 1996;Lee et al, 1991;Peppelenbos & Leven, 1996)), láminas de manzana (Lakakul et al, 1999), plátanos (Lee et al, 1991;Maneerat et al, 1997), arándanos Lee et al, 1996;Song et al, 1992), frambuesas , espárragos (Lee et al, 1991;Peppelenbos & Leven, 1996), bróculi (Lee et al, 1991;Peppelenbos & Leven, 1996), bróculi cortado (Haggar et al, 1992;Lee et al, 1991;Lee et al, 1996;Peppelenbos & Leven, 1996;Talasila et al, 1994), cerezas (Salvador et al, 2002), ensalada de col con zanahoria (McLaughlin & O'Beirne, 1999), lechuga cortada (Smyth et al, 1998), coliflor (Ratti et al, 1996) y otros muchos vegetales (Fonseca et al, 2002a). Este modelo respiratorio es válido sólo para respiración aeróbica, y la composición de los gases no se predice bien cuando la concentración de O 2 es muy baja.…”
