Antioxidant Content of Fresh-Cut Pears Stored in High-O2 Active Packages Compared with Conventional Low-O2 Active and Passive Modified Atmosphere Packaging
The antioxidant content of fresh-cut pears dipped into N-acetylcysteine +glutathione solution and packaged under HOA was evaluated as an alternative to actively modified LOA and PA.
Abstract:
The antioxidant content of fresh-cut ‘Flor de Invierno’ (Pyrus communis L.) pears dipped into a 0.75% w/v N-acetylcysteine + 0.75% w/v glutathione solution and packaged under 70 kPa of O2 atmospheres (HOA) was evaluated as an alternative to actively modified low-O2 atmosphere (LOA) and passively modified atmospheres (PA).
