| Abstract | ||||
| Sweet con is one of the most perishable vegetables, as it has a very high .aspiration rate, thus, minimum safe low temperature (0°C) a. 1 high relative humidity control are essential to maximum shelf-life nd to minimize quality loss. In addition, film wraps can be beneficial in maintaing high relative humidity and extending the storage life. The present investig., in is undertaken to study the effect of shrink-wrapping and refrigeration (0°C-and 90± 50/012H) on quality changes of sweet corn ez.s during storage. Quality changes of sweet corn were monitored dun..i storage at 0°C, unwrapped or wrapped in shnnk Film. Film wit:nping maintained freshness, reduced weight loss and decay better than lack of unwrapping. Wrapping in shrink film resulted in It dyer Q and higher Coe concentrations within packages. Wrapping in shrink film maintained total soluble solids and total sugars than unwrApping. | ||||
