- Intervention effect Two macroperforations largely maintained chlorophyll at both temperatures.
- Intervention effect Nonperforated packages retained chlorophyll but caused unfavorable anaerobic conditions at 15C.
- Intervention effect Ascorbic acid was better retained in perforated packages.
- Intervention effect Lowering storage temperature to 5C accelerated phenolic oxidation.
- Intervention effect Nonperforated packages hampered phenolic oxidation.
- Recommendation Sensory ratings supported a five-day storage period with two perforations.
- Intervention effect Perforated packaging could provide five days of shelf life while maintaining physicochemical constituents.
