“…India is the second largest producer of fruits by producing 97.36 million metric tonnes (MT) of fruits, which is around 13% of the total fruit production of the world (757.5 million MT) during the year 2018–2019. However, due to poor post‐harvest handling, transportation, storage and packaging techniques, India lost around 16% of its total fresh fruits during the year 2018–2019 (Mangaraj et al, 2021). Among all the fruits, apple is one of the common climacteric fruit crop grown across all the states of India.…”

“…Although the optimum storage temperature of apple for better shelf life is very low but, during transportation from temperate to tropical reason the temperature rise is inevitable. When the storage temperature increases substantially, it resulted into short shelf life of climacteric fruit (Mangaraj et al, 2021). Thereby, in that case the control of respiration rates of apple fruits is much crucial for better shelf life and market value.…”

“…As a result, the MAP is currently the most extensively used fruit preservation technique (Mangaraj et al, 2012). A MAP system is a method of food preservation in which the interior atmosphere of the package is changed to a level of oxygen and carbon dioxide concentration that is ideal for increasing the shelf life of fruits while preserving their natural quality and freshness for prolonged period of time (Mangaraj et al, 2021; Thakur et al, 2022).…”

In the present investigation, experiments were conducted to model the rate of apple respiration at various temperatures using enzyme kinetics approach and Arrhenius equation. Thereafter, a governing mathematical model based on the mass balance concept was developed to design a modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) system for apple. The respiration rate model and developed equation employed in the MAP design process was verified and proved to be suitable, as indicated by moduli (E < 10%). Thereafter, a combination of biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) film having thickness of 30 and 50 μm, respectively was prepared by tailoring method to match the targeted gas permeability requirement of apple. The MAP system for apple was developed by packaging 1 kg of apple in the prepared film and the packages were stored at 2 C for further quality evaluation. The quality attributes of apple in terms of physico-chemical properties, individual phenolic compounds, total phenolic content and total antioxidant capacity were assessed at a regular interval of time during storage. Based on physiological weight loss (<10%) and retention of other physicochemical and phytochemical quality till the end of storage period, the shelf life of apple was recorded as 180 days.Practical application: The lack of adequate cold storage systems in the supply chain, improper handling and storage facilities for fresh fruits including apple, is the leading source of post-harvest loss of perishable commodity. The modeling of respiration rate at transient state and design of perm selective modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) system could be an alternative technology which can facilitate the shelf life enhancement of apple during handling and distribution. The uniqueness in the study involves the effect of MAP system on phytochemical compounds of whole apple during storage which has been rarely reported so far. The retention of overall quality of stored apple has proved that MAP is a promising technique for quality retention and achieving better market value.

Modified atmosphere storage (MAS) system was developed under passive as well as active conditions for bulk handling and storage of mango. The developed mathematical model used in the design process was validated and found to be appropriate, as indicated by moduli (E < 10%). The use of O2 absorber in the active MAS system has extended the shelf life of mango by 3.5 times as compared to control along with maintaining good quality attributes at the end of the storage period at ambient temperature (27°C). It may be due to attainment of an early dynamic equilibrium O2 and CO2 concentrations which were much close to the targeted level. The shelf life of mango under control, passive and active condition was found to be 4, 10 and 14 days, respectively. The extra shelf life gained by mango under active MAS condition may provide buffer period for storage, retailing and distribution during supply chain. Novelty impact statement The main cause of post‐harvest loss of crop like mango and other fresh produce is the poor handling due to unavailability of a bulk storage system at on‐farm level. Therefore, it is essential to develop an economical storage system which can facilitate large quantity storage of mango to the farmers at their orchard level itself. Hence, in the above context, our study is an attempt made to develop, design and compare an active as well as passive MAS system for mango. These uniquely developed and designed MAS systems were evaluated under passive as well as active condition by storing 100 kg of mango inside them. From the results, it was quite clear that an active MAS system can provide long‐term storage of mango even at on‐farm storage condition and can also facilitate a buffer period to the farmers during retailing and distribution.
