In: Annals of Agricultural Science, Moshtohor 2005.v.43(4)Summary: Snap bean seeds cv polista was sown on 3 rd of March during the two successive summer seasons of 2003 and 2004 at the Experimental Station, Faculty of Agriculture, Cairo Univ. Giza, Egypt. to study the effect of modified atmosphere packages on quality of snap bean during the storage. Snap bean pods were packed in two types of polyethylene film bags (high and low density) with 16,and 32 µ thickness for high density and 32 and 64µ for low density, besides carton boxes (control treatment) were used, and the pods were stored at 8°c and 96% RH. the samples were taken after 0,4, 7, 11, 14 and 18 days of storage. The obtained results indicate that snap bean pods packed in 32 µ high density sealed had greater chlorophyll content contributing to greener appearance, ascorbic acid, lowest percentages of decay, weight loss and fiber, which mean the best quality, on the other hand, the control treatment showed the lowest appearance and quality.
