There are 3-5 small holes on the micropore film, with a pore size of 100-300μm. By adjusting the size and number of micropores, the permeability of O2, CO2 and water vapor in the packaging bag film is changed to match the breathing rate of freshly cut broccoli.

Benefits of technology

Through the principle of balancing the air conditioning packaging, the shelf life of freshly cut broccoli is extended, which significantly improves the chlorophyll content, reduces the weight loss rate, and improves the sensory score.
