Abstract
The effect of microperforated packaging films on fresh-cut apples was studied Apples (Malus domestica Borkh. cv. Red Delicious) were cored and cut, packaged in laser microperforated film or non-microperforated polyolefin film, and stored for 3 weeks at 4C. The flesh firmness of apples packaged in microperforated film during the storage period was significantly higher than that of apples packaged in non-microperforated film, and the level of soluble solids was also higher. The browning index, titratable acidity, pH, acetaldehyde and ethanol levels were not affected by microperforation. These results show that microperforated films could be used for retention of flesh firmness in fresh-cut apples.
