Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the physical and mechanical properties of environmentally-friendly films for fresh-cut lettuce. This objective was achieved by determining the gas transmission rates for oxygen, water vapor, carbon dioxide, and the thermal and mechanical properties of the films following ASTM standards D3985, F1249, F2476-05, D3418-03, and D882-02, respectively. Electromechanical testing and thermal analysis determined that biodegradable polypropylene (BPP) possessed similar mechanical and thermal properties when compared to the industry standard. This study suggests that BPP films may be used in place of traditional petroleum-based films currently used to package fresh-cut produce.
