Effects of Modified Atmosphere Packaging and Cold Storage on Sensory Qualities of Apples
Abstract :
Grany Smith and Golden Delicious apples were stored at 1°C within the modified atmosphere packaging for 6 months, and then their sensorial qualities were evaluated. Chemical analyses includes titratable acidity (TA), TSS (total soluble solids) and calculation of TSS:TA ratio were evaluated. Sensory evaluations were sweetness, sourness, apple flavour, crispness and firmness were done. The chemical and sensory values of apples within various modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) films, additionally unwrapped ones as control were analysed. Sensory evaluation and chemical analyses were done to investigate the effects of long term storage on the level of acceptability of apples. There were not significant differences on sensory qualities between packaging treatments of the same variety of apples. However, correlation analyses showed that there was a strong relationship between sensory scores and chemical measurements, and titratable acidity was the best predictor of acid taste and TSS:TA ratio was the best predictor of sweetness taste.
