Quality of ‘Fuji’ Apple Packed with Functional MA Film to the Films Thickness

The quality of ‘Fuji’ apple was analyzed the film thickness conditions and packed with functional MA film during 24 weeks storage at 0C to weight loss, hardness, acidity and SSC, decay ratio, and vitamin C. The weight loss of apple packed functional MA film was higher than that of contro.Value of the weight loss of apple packed in the control and functional MA filmswere 8.2% and 0.4-0.5%, respectively. The change of hardness and titratable acidity was also lower than that of control. The decay ratio of apple packed with functional MA films were 2.4~4.7%, but that of control was 6.8%. The decay ratio of apple was the lowest at 0.025mm functional MA film. Changes of vitamin C also was lower than that of control. Based on the results, we suggested that the functional MA film with 0.025mm thickness is desirable for keeping the quality of the ‘Fuji’ apple produced at Geochang, Korea.
