Abstract

Given the reduced production in organic farming and its higher costs, the present study aimed to define the suitability of organically grown (ORG) globe artichoke heads of cv. Tema 2000 to be processed as fresh-cut product in comparison with conventionally grown (CONV) ones. The study investigated the combined use of parsley essential oil (EO) and biodegradable cellulose pouches suitable for hypobaric packaging (CELL) as a sustainable alternative to conventional plastic bags (OPA) during 22 days of refrigerated storage. Results indicated that EO addition was extremely effective in improving the physical properties of CELL pouches and limiting the microbial growth during artichoke storage, even in ORG samples, which are typically more contaminated due to natural fertiliser use. Considering the importance of a biodegradable packaging choice, the EO treatment improved the CELL performance and prolonged the shelf life, suggesting that this treatment is promising for fresh-cut globe artichoke processing.

协同使用精油和真空烹调包装的现成有机与传统的全球朝鲜蓟头

考虑到有机农业产量的减少和成本的增加，本研究旨在确定有机种植（ORG）全球洋蓟头的适用性。与传统种植（CONV）产品相比，Tema 2000将作为新鲜产品加工。该研究调查了欧芹精油（EO）和适用于低压包装（CELL）的可生物降解纤维素袋的组合使用，作为传统塑料袋（OPA）的可持续替代品，在22天的冷藏储存期间。结果表明，添加EO在改善CELL袋的物理特性和限制洋蓟储存期间微生物生长方面非常有效，即使在ORG样品中也是如此，因为使用天然肥料通常会导致污染更严重。考虑到可生物降解包装选择的重要性，EO处理提高了CELL性能并延长了保质期，这表明该处理在鲜切洋蓟加工中是有希望的。

期刊介绍： The journal is devoted exclusively to the publication of original papers, review articles and frontiers articles on biological and technological postharvest research. This includes the areas of postharvest storage, treatments and underpinning mechanisms, quality evaluation, packaging, handling and distribution of fresh horticultural crops including fruit, vegetables, flowers and nuts, but excluding grains, seeds and forages. Papers reporting novel insights from fundamental and interdisciplinary research will be particularly encouraged. These disciplines include systems biology, bioinformatics, entomology, plant physiology, plant pathology, (bio)chemistry, engineering, modelling, and technologies for nondestructive testing. Manuscripts on fresh food crops that will be further processed after postharvest storage, or on food processes beyond refrigeration, packaging and minimal processing will not be considered.
