CO2-enriched atmospheres reduce postharvest decay and maintain good quality in highly perishable fruits.

ABSTRACT :

 

High-CO2 levels in the storage atmosphere greatly reduced rates of respiration, ethylene production, and decay incidence, and significantly contributed to maintaining good quality in Calymirna and Mission figs and Chandler strawberries. CO2-exposed fruits presented higher ethanol and acetaldehyde contents in the juice, compared with control fruits kept in air. Sensory evaluation of strawberries showed that CO2-enriched atmospheres do not necessarily involve off-flavour development. Optimal CA/MA application during transit and temporary storage of these highly-perishable fruits is discussed.
