Abstract

In order to reveal the effect of packaging films on quality of fresh cut broccoli, three different properties of films were selected as materials. The effect of packaging films on headspace gas composition in the bag, respiratory rate and sensory quality of fresh cut broccolis were studied. The results showed that the samples in PE2 exhibited the best quality. The samples in PE1 had less quality than PE2. Although broccolis in PE3 had the lower O2concentration and highest CO2concentration, which retarded a great extent of respiration rate than others, but this condition induced anaerobe respiration, and then leading to the worst sensory quality.
