Abstract

There has been an increasing interest in using polymeric films for packaging of fresh and fresh-cut horticultural commodities to provide several benefits such as protection against physical injuries, improved sanitation, control of light conditions, and more importantly modification of atmospheric composition. There is a wealth of published information on Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP), yet no systematic theoretical study has been conducted to establish which commercially available plastic films would be most suitable for MAP of a particular produce. Such analysis could provide an initial screening of polymeric films, point out potential limitations, and help minimise the number of experimental trials.
