Shelf life prediction and kinetics of quality changes in pineapple (Ananas comosus) varieties at different storage temperatures

Shelf life estimation is an important factor to predict the freshness of fruits. This study aimed to investigate the shelf life and the changes in the physicochemical properties of three different pineapple varieties, namely MD2, Josapine, and Morris stored at 5, 10, and 25 °C. The effect of storage...
