Post-Harvest Quality of Red Bell Pepper: Effect of Ozonized Mist and Protective Film
This study investigated the effectiveness of ozonised mist and protective film (low-density polyethylene - LDPE) in preserving red peppers during storage. Ozonised mist was applied at 20.10 mg L-¹ and 2.0 L min-¹ for 5, 10 and 15 min, with and without protective film, and compared with untreated controls and chlorine treatment. Stored for 21 days at 25 °C and 60% relative humidity, peppers treated with ozonised mist showed significant reductions in total molds and yeasts counts, with the 15-minute treatment achieving reductions of 4.00 logs for molds and 4.34 logs for yeast, surpassing the chlorine treatment. The protective film effectively minimised weight loss and maintained the commercial appearance of the bell peppers. Importantly, the combination of ozonised mist and protective film did not significantly affect the physico-chemical quality of the bell peppers. These results suggest that ozonised mist and protective film are effective in reducing post-harvest losses of bell peppers, with practical benefits for the storage sector.
期刊介绍:
Biophysical studies of foods and agricultural products involve research at the interface of chemistry, biology, and engineering, as well as the new interdisciplinary areas of materials science and nanotechnology. Such studies include but are certainly not limited to research in the following areas: the structure of food molecules, biopolymers, and biomaterials on the molecular, microscopic, and mesoscopic scales; the molecular basis of structure generation and maintenance in specific foods, feeds, food processing operations, and agricultural products; the mechanisms of microbial growth, death and antimicrobial action; structure/function relationships in food and agricultural biopolymers; novel biophysical techniques (spectroscopic, microscopic, thermal, rheological, etc.) for structural and dynamical characterization of food and agricultural materials and products; the properties of amorphous biomaterials and their influence on chemical reaction rate, microbial growth, or sensory properties; and molecular mechanisms of taste and smell.
A hallmark of such research is a dependence on various methods of instrumental analysis that provide information on the molecular level, on various physical and chemical theories used to understand the interrelations among biological molecules, and an attempt to relate macroscopic chemical and physical properties and biological functions to the molecular structure and microscopic organization of the biological material.
