Abstract

The work aims to study the preservation method of fennel at room temperature. Polyethylene modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) with different number of micropores per unit area were prepared through a Laser drilling process. The preservation effects of MAP with or without ethylene adsorption function (MAPE or MAPN) on the appearance, water loss, hardness, organic acid, vitamin and other qualities of fennel were evaluated and compared with the ordinary large-hole bag of the control group. The results showed that, the atmosphere established by MAP with a relative humidity (RH) of 90%-92% and a CO₂concentration of 0.6%-0.8% was suitable for the room temperature preservation of fennel. Compared with the control, the self-made MAPE and MAPN fresh-keeping bags had certain fresh-keeping effect. MAPE could achieve a shelf life of 3 days at room temperature (20 ℃) with no obvious deterioration in appearance and quality, and significant inhibition nutrient loss of fennel. Therefore, modified atmosphere packaging with ethylene adsorption function (MAPE) can meet the room-temperature preservation requirements for fennel.
