This study aimed to determine the properties of a new active packaging film in order to extend the storage life of fresh mangoes by packing Nam Dok Mai mangoes (Mangifera indica Linn) with an active packaging film composed of biodegradable polymer and cellulose derivatives. A new packaging bag was produced primarily by blending polylactic acid (PLA) with spray-dried carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) from bleached bagasse (CMCB) at various concentrations (0%, 1%, 2%, and 4% w/w). The film thickness of the PLA and PLA/CMCB bags was 75 mu m. Unpacked mangoes were used as control before the packaged ones were stored at export conditions (13 +/- 1 degrees C and 90 +/- 5% relative humidity [RH]) to evaluate the efficiency of the PLA/CMCB film. Mango respiration and ethylene production rate were measured periodically in a packaging atmosphere as an indicator of ripeness. Changing fruit physio-chemistry parameters were also studied, including weight loss, peel and flesh colour, firmness, total soluble solid (TSS), and total acidity (TA). The capacity of PLA/CMCB packaging to absorb water vapour and prolong mango shelf life was demonstrated, and active packaging function by control of RH was also demonstrated. The absorption of PLA/CMCB packaging was increased dramatically at 4% (w/w) CMCB mixed with PLA. At this CMCB concentration, the packaging film could extend the shelf life of mangoes for 42 days in export condition as well as decrease the physio-chemistry parameters and respiratory rate, which were significantly enhanced when compared with those of control mangoes or unpacked mangoes (P <= 0.05), which had a shelf life of approximately 3 weeks.
