Storage Behavior of Pelleted, Tableted, and Taped Lettuce Seed 1

Eric E. Roos

Abstract

Coated and raw (uncoated) lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) seed obtained from commercial sources were subjected to 6 storage conditions (ranging from 21° C, 90% relative humidity (RH) to 5°, 40% RH) for a period of 3 years. Four types of packaging material differing in moisture-barrier properties were used. Samples were removed periodically for moisture and germination tests. Under poor storage conditions, coated seed deteriorated more rapidly than the raw seed controls. Under favorable storage conditions, both coated and raw seed retained full viability for the 3 years.

Modified Atmosphere and Vacuum Packaging to Extend the Shelf Life of Respiring Food Products

L.G.M. Gorris and H.W. Peppelenbos

There has been a recent upsurge in the application of modified atmosphere and vacuum packaging to extend the shelf life of food products that rapidly deteriorate. Although these techniques are mostly used with nonrespiring products, both offer considerable prospects for respiring products as well. Because not all commodities respire at the same pace, packaging conditions, such as the initial gas atmosphere applied, the type of packaging material used, and the storage temperature, require special consideration. Choosing the wrong packaging conditions may lead to loss of product quality and also may impair the microbiological safety normally associated with fresh fruits and vegetables. This paper stresses the importance of these considerations with modified atmosphere and vacuum packaging systems.
