Abstract

There is provided process for packaging plant matter (l2), said process comprising cooling plant matter to a temperature above the temperature at which ice crystals begin to form therein, filling the plant matter into containers (23) therefor, evacuating the gaseous atmosphere from the cooled plant matter-containing containers, introducing into the evacuated containers a gaseous mixture comprising an inert gas and at least 4% oxygen, and sealing the containers containing said gaseous mixture and cooled plant matter. The process is particularly suited to the packaging of uncooked and unfrozen vegetables, fruits or fungi or mixtures thereof, especially when chopped or diced, and enables the shelf storage life of such material to be extended significantly.
