Abstract

This review provides an overview of the effect of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) on the survival and growth of foodborne pathogens on fresh-cut fruits and vegetables. Substantial technological advances have been made in this area, mainly in improving the quality and shelf-life of minimally processed products. Nevertheless, attention must be paid on the survival and growth of pathogenic microorganisms that may be present in fruits and vegetables. Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) in combination with refrigeration temperatures could be used as a mild preservation technique for safety of minimally processed fruits and vegetables. However, the effect of MAP on microorganisms can vary, depending mainly on the storage conditions and the type of packaged product.

  • Modified Atmosphere Packaging alters the atmosphere inside the package by a natural interaction between the respiration rate of the product and the transfer of gases through the packaging material.

    “The most prominent technology -the Modified Atmosphere Packaging -alters the atmosphere inside the package by a natural interaction between the respiration rate of the product and the transfer of gases through the packaging material (Oliveira et al., 2015).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
