Effect of Packaging and Coating Technique on Postharvest Quality and Shelf Life of L. and L. Microgreens.

Microgreens are highly respiring produce characterized by a relatively short shelf-life. In this study, the efficacy of two types of macro-perforated packaging, PET clamshell (PET-CS) and LDPE self-seal bag (LDPE-SSB), was assessed on the postharvest quality and shelf life of radish (RaS) and roselle (HbS) microgreens stored at 5 °C. Pre-harvest spray treatment (AGSC) was compared with postharvest dip coating (AGDC) using gel (AG) for the first time in microgreens for postharvest quality improvement.
