Armazenagem em atmosfera modificada passiva de carambola azeda (Averrhoa carambola L.) cv. 'Golden Star'

摘要: This work was carried out to evaluate the effects of low density polyethylene bags (LDPB) with different thickness on Golden Star starfruit shelf life. The fruits were harvested at mature-green ripening stage, selected from lack defects and placed in LDPB bags, constituting following treatments: T1 - control (no bags); T2 6 mm LDPB; T3 10 T4 15 LDPB. Fruits stored for 45 days refrigerated air 12 +/- 0,5oC 95 3% RH then left 22 3oC 72 5% 5 days. Twenty-four hours after harvest every nine days, samples removed cold storage, kept ambient (22 RH) analyzed flesh firmness, weight loss, epidermal color, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, occurrence physiological disorders. also evaluated by a trained taste panel. Highest values firmness best color standard, lowest content as well decay incidence acceptance scores panelists achieved
