This study aimed at selecting the most suitable package for snow peas, with maintaining the quality of
pods. Samples were packaged using six types of packages: control bag, non-perforated polypropylene, polypropylene
with 6, 12, 24 microholes and smart package. samples were then stored for 7, 14 and 21 days at 0˚C, with 90-95% R.H.
and then kept sealed two and four additional days at 10˚C, with 80-85% R.H. to study the effect of modified atmosphere
packaging on quality attributes, the atmosphere composition inside the packages and weight loss of snow peas. Results
revealed that microperforated polypropylene with 12 microholes bags are the suitable package to maintain the quality
during storage and retail sale period, in terms of visual quality, taste, vitamin C, SSC, sugars content, reducing weight
loss and prevent decay.
