Major postharvest quality deterioration during long distance ocean shipping include
flavor loss, off-flavor development, skin darkening, pedicel browning, pitting, and decay. In this research,
three modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) liners with varied gas permeability were evaluated for their
effect on quality deterioration and physiological changes of ‘Lapins’ and ‘Skeena’ during a simulated
transit of 6 weeks at 0 C.
