In this study, fresh-cut carrots were treated with low temperature combined with modified atmosphere packaging in order to study the effects of different fresh-keeping methods on the quality of fresh-cut carrots. Fresh-cut carrots were packaged under modified atmosphere conditions (gas composition was 5% O2+5% CO2+90% N2, 5% O2+10% CO2+85% N2, 10% O2+5% CO2+85% N2,respectively.) and stored in a fresh-keeping box at (4±1) ℃. The indexes of sensory quality, weight loss rate, soluble solids content, ascorbic acid content, carotene content, total number of colonies, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and antioxidant enzyme activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were measured every 3 days. The results showed that the low-temperature combined with 5% O2+10% CO2+85% N2 modified atmosphere packaging could effectively maintain the quality of fresh-cut carrots, reduce water loss, delay the decrease of nutrient-soluble solids, carotene, and ascorbic acid. It could also inhibit the increase of MDA content, promote the activity of antioxidant enzymes, and delay the increase of the total number of colonies. After 15 days of storage, the quality of the fresh-cut carrots treated with low temperature combined with 5% O2+10% CO2+85% N2 modified atmosphere packaging was better than other treatment groups, and they still had commodity value and food value. The results showed that above modified conditions could maintain the storage quality of fresh-cut carrots and delay the postharvest aging process. This study can provide a reference for extending the shelf life of fresh-cut vegetables.
