Abstract
This study evaluated the application of cold shock combined with perforation-mediated passive modified atmosphere packaging technology (CS-PMAP) for cucumber preservation through physicochemical, sensory, and nutritional qualities. The effectiveness of CS-PMAP in maintaining the quality of fresh cucumbers was studied; cucumbers were pretreated with cold shock and then packed into perforated polyethylene bags (bag size of 20 × 30 cm; film thickness of 0.07 mm; and two holes in each bag with a diameter of 6 mm), while the cucumbers without cold shock were considered as the control. Storage of the samples was performed at (13 ± 2) °C for 20 days to determine the quality changes in terms of gas composition, weight loss, skin color, texture, total soluble solids (TSS), ascorbic acid, malondialdehyde (MDA), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The CS-PMAP showed a significant improvement in maintaining firmness, TSS, ascorbic acid, and flavor profile of cucumbers; the control samples without cold shock showed higher weight loss and MDA levels. Results of this study confirmed that CS-PMAP has potential use in the storage of cucumbers.
