Abstract:		"Fresh cut iceberg lettuce spoilage was studied considering the microbial and biochemical activity, the formation of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and consumer acceptability. Lettuce was packaged under three different packaging conditions and stored at 4?ª+ degrees C for 10?ª+days: anaerobic packaging (ANAER), equilibrium modified atmosphere packaging with 3% O(2) (EMAP) and perforated packages (AIR). Results indicated a clear distinction between packaging conditions. EMAP and AIR resulted in a short shelf life (
