Revolutionizing Pomegranate Storage: Modified Atmosphere Packaging Enhances Quality and Safety
The researchers studied how storing pomegranate arils in modified atmosphere packaging affects their quality and safety. They looked at two different types of pomegranate grown in Iran. The results showed that the packaging helped maintain the arils' freshness by reducing spoilage and preserving their color and texture. This method also helped control the growth of harmful microbes, making the fruit safer to eat. Overall, using modified atmosphere packaging can improve the shelf life and quality of pomegranate arils.
