Abstract: Modified atmosphere packaging of asparagus (aspamps officinalis L.) was studied in the experiment Theresults proved that the effect of initial gasses ratio on weight loss was not significant but the effects on assessment value.VC level. fiber level and chlorophyll level were significant.Temperature played animportant role in asparagus in modified atmosphere packaging during storage, especially when storage temperatUre exceeded 5℃. The quality of asparagus in lowdensity polyethylene (LDPE) bags was the best among the six films in the experiment.Among the several initial gasses ratio. 5%O2+5%CO2 and 1 0%O2+ 10%CO2 were the best. Asparagus under these conditions at 5℃ retained good quality after 18 days.
