The best atmosphere determined in the first study was then
applied to other vegetables (carrots and green, red and yellow peppers),
which were packed and stored over an extended period. All
samples were kept at 5 C, and physicochemical, microbial and
sensory parameters were evaluated at the following sampling
times: beginning of the experiment (day 0) and at 7th, 14th,
20th, 24th and 28th days after packaging.
