Article Description

The aim of this research was to study the shelf-life of fresh-cut iceberg lettuce, testing a packaging film manufactured with and without addition of anti-UV compounds, and using two different protective atmospheres (N/CO 70/30% and Ar/CO 80/20%). In order to simulate the most common retail storage conditions, the samples were stored at 6 °C under artificial light by using real supermarket refrigerated exposition stands. The data obtained showed that the use of an anti-UV film always causes a lower quality decay of the product; in any case, the best results were obtained when the anti-UV film was utilized in association with the packaging atmosphere consisting of Ar and CO (80/20%) gas mixture.
