Prolonged storage of Hass avocado fruits using controlled atmosphere.

Six CA treatments comprising combinations of CO2 (0.5, 1, 3 or 8%) with O2 (3 or 21%) were compared during storage at 5 deg C. The results showed that increasing CO2 and reducing O2 concentrations inhibited ripening (on the basis of fruit firmness and peel colour change) and reduced the incidence of chilling injury. The most effective CO2 concentration was 8%, with either 3 or 21% O2; with a combination of 3% O2 and 8% CO2 fruits could be stored for 9 weeks. After CA storage, fruits ripened normally and underwent typical peel colour changes. However, these 2 ripening processes did not always occur in parallel. Some injury to the fruit peel was observed during the experiments, probably attributable to low O2 concentrations. Peel damage was seen in 10% of fruits held in 3% O2 with either 3 or 8% CO2 but it was too slight to affect the saleability.
