Effect of Packaging on Quality and Flavor of Fresh-Cut Mint

The effect of packaging on the quality of fresh-cut mint was evaluated. The shelf life of the fresh-cut mint was up to 12 d. The 1-MCP and modified atmosphere package treatments showed no significant influence on the total micorflora count, sensory features, and flavor of the fresh-cut mint. Remarkably, the modified atmosphere package treatment held the chlorophyll content and greenness of the mint. Hence, the modified atmosphere package treatment benefited the storage of the fresh-cut mint.
