Study of Bulk Packaging for Black Mustard [Brassica nigra (L.) W.D.J. Koch] and Assessment of Shelf Life for Export

Mustard is a shelf-stable product with suspended respiration processes, though biochemical, microbial, and other decomposition activities can persist depending on storage conditions. To address these challenges, a study was undertaken to develop effective bulk packaging solutions for mustard. This involved testing various packaging materials, analyzing shelf life, and setting specifications for export packaging.
