Development of Modified Gas Composition for Atmosphere Packaging of Sliced Apple Chips

In this study, we report the development of mixed gas composition for packaging dried apple slices in a modified atmosphere to extend their shelf life and maintain their quality. We used the response surface methodology to optimize oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations in the mixture for packagin...

description In this study, we report the development of mixed gas composition for packaging dried apple slices in a modified atmosphere to extend their shelf life and maintain their quality. We used the response surface methodology to optimize oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations in the mixture for packaging in a modified atmosphere based on the changes in mass, hardness, browning index, polyphenols, and vitamin C content during apple chip storage. Studies have shown that the optimal concentration of oxygen should be 2.663% and carbon dioxide 3.785% when packaging dried apple slices in a modified atmosphere to obtain minimal changes in the measured quality attributes. These findings can be applied in food processing and storage, providing a useful guideline for improving the preservation and nutritional value of dried fruits.
