Abstract

In this investigation was carried out in order to determine the effect of 5 different MAPs, one of which is with antimicrobial (AM) properties. ’Bursa Black’ figs whose combinations and unpackaged ones, on the changes in physiological and pathological disorders during storage and shelf life. This study was carried out on 3 trials and the products were stored at 3±0.5°C and 90-95% humidity during of 32 days and put into the shelf life at 25±0.5°C for 3 days. At the end of the storage time, microbial loads of the products, gas concentrations, weight loss (%), decayed fruits (%), decayed fruits after shelf life (%) and ripening of fruit result were determined. The packaging of figs during storage has prevented the weight loss that may occur in the products. In the study, the rates of decaying of control, PE and AM packages were compared. It was determined that AM packages and AM films used in the study have different effects on the quality criteria in evaluation withal reduced the product decay. As a result of the study, it was found that the packages of AM can be used in the commercially or that the PE packages and AM films can be combined.
