The document discusses a study that tested methods for extending the shelf life of corn stored at 34属F. It tested corn stored in polyethylene bags with a Chandra Associates film against corn stored in air without a film. The results showed that corn stored with the film maintained quality and freshness for over 24 days, while the corn stored without the film only remained fresh for up to 16 days, demonstrating that the Chandra Associates film was effective at extending the shelf life of corn.
2. Program Objective: To maintain a quality and freshness of CORN that permits consumption after 16+ days of storage at 34F (1.1 C). To prove that designs with a Chandra Associates films (CA Film) generate a shelf life greater than that of design without films (control in air) at a storage temperature of 34F (1.1 C). 5 Days After Harvest Designs Tested: A -CA Film in a polyethylene bag with 1.3 kg corn at storage temp B -Control in air - no membrane, with 1.3 kg con at storage temperature CORN TESTING RESULTS
9. Program Test Results The CA films ensured the quality and freshness of corn was maintained and permitted consumption even after 24 days of storage at 34F. Proved that designs with a Chandra Associates films (CA Film) generate a shelf life greater than that of design without films (control in air) at a storage temperature of 34F. 10 Days After Harvest CORNTESTING RESULTS
