Program Objective: Program Objective:
1. To maintain a quality and freshness of CORN that permits
consumption after 16+ days of storage at 34˚F (1.1 ˚C).
2. To prove that designs with a Chandra Associates films (CA Film)
generate a shelf life greater than that of design without films (control
in air) at a storage temperature of 34˚F (1.1 ˚C). 5 Days After Harvest
Designs Tested:Designs Tested:
A -CA Film in a polyethylene bag with 1.3 kg corn at storage temp
B -Control in air - no membrane, with 1.3 kg con at storage temperature

Program Test ResultsProgram Test Results
1. The CA films ensured the quality and freshness of
corn was maintained and permitted consumption
even after 24 days of storage at 34˚F.
2. Proved that designs with a Chandra Associates films
(CA Film) generate a shelf life greater than that of
design without films (control in air) at a storage
temperature of 34˚F. 10 Days After Harvest
