Chickpea sprouts could be sold in markets in a wide range of presentations, from without any kind of packaging until “ready‐to‐eat” packages in polymeric film to attractive shrink cup or box packs. The aim of this research was to analyze and quantify the effect of two pre‐designed polymeric films package on quality loss of chickpea sprouts in modified atmospheric packaging (MAP) at constant temperature and relative humidity. Shelf life could be extended by limiting storage temperature variations and respiration rates. Weight loss, discoloration, texture and microbial changes appear to be the primary symptoms for deterioration in quality. Chickpea sprouts were packed in perforated polypropylene (PP) and low‐density polyethylene (LDPE). Samples were kept in modified atmospheric temperature at 10 ± 1C, 75% relative humidity for 7 days; using unpacked chickpea sprouts as control. Physiological weight loss, pH, hardness, ascorbic acid, seed and hypocotyl color, and yeast and mold counts were determined. The results showed that color intensity and hardness decreases during storage; physiological weight loss in PP packed chickpea sprouts was lower than 1.5%. Modified atmosphere may restrict the spoilage problems caused by molds and yeast. So it may be considered the most suitable packaging material for extending shelf life of chickpea sprouts Not Available |
