Program Objective: Program Objective:

1. To maintain a quality and freshness of CORN that permits

consumption after 16+ days of storage at 34˚F (1.1 ˚C).

2. 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 34˚F (1.1 ˚C). 5 Days After Harvest

Designs Tested: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

Program Test ResultsProgram Test Results

1. The CA films ensured the quality and freshness of

corn was maintained and permitted consumption

even after 24 days of storage at 34˚F.

2. 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 34˚F. 10 Days After Harvest
