Evolution of quality indices of fresh bunched spinach stored using low density polyethylene and polypropylene bags
Courtesy of Inderscience Publishers
Packaging technology constitutes an available method for reducing postharvest deteriorative processes on fresh products. The purpose of this work was to evaluate leaf water status, weight loss and colour retention of bunched spinach leaves packaged in low density polyethylene (LDPE) and polypropylene (OPP) bags, stored at 2°C for 25 days. Water status was determined through relative water content (RWC), the free:total water ratio (FW/TW) and bound water (BW); colour was evaluated colorimetrically as hue angle. Gaseous concentrations reached in OPP bags (11% O
