Zusammenfassung:PURPOSE:To prevent putrefaction of apples and hold the freshness degree for a long period, by blending a packaging material for apples with a blending agent consisting of a hydroxycarboxylic acid and/or L-ascorbic acid and a ferrous salt. CONSTITUTION:This packaging material for apples is prepared by blending a blending agent consisting of (A) a hydroxycarboxylic acid having >=2 carboxyl groups in the molecule and/or L-ascorbic acid and (B) a ferrous salt. The blending molar ratio [(A):(B)] of the components (A) to (B) is preferably 0.01:1-1.5:1. Tartaric acid, citric acid, malic acid, etc., may be cited as the above-mentioned hydroxycarboxylic acid. Ferrous sulfate, ferrous chloride, ferrous nitrate, etc., may be cited as the ferrous salt. The ferrous salt is normally prepared as an aqueous solution in about 0.01-1mol/l concentration. A basic material for packaging is blended with the above-mentioned blending agent by a method for impregnating, coating, spraying, etc., and dried to afford the aimed packaging material.
