Modified atmosphere storage of cherries.

During the 1996 season, Chinook cherry fruits were stored for 2 weeks and Bing fruits were stored for up to 2 months at 0 deg C in modified atmosphere (MA) storage. Microperforated and non-microperforated polyethylene (PE, 40 micro ) and Xtend plastic film were compared. The gas concentrations of fruits packaged and held at 0 deg stabilized after 2 days in both the microperforated and non-microperforated Xtend film. However, when transferred to 20 deg , sealed fruits became anaerobic while fruits in microperforated packages did not. When compared with PE film, CO2 concentrations were higher and RH lower in Xtend film than in PE film. Xtend film maintained green stem colour while PE packaging did not. Bing cherries stored well for up to 2 months at 0 deg in MA storage using Xtend film, but fruit quality deteriorated rapidly during the third month of storage. Xtend MA storage decreased weight loss, decreased decay and maintained green stem colour compared with unsealed control fruits. MA storage d

id not affect fruit firmness, soluble solids content, titratable acidity or the amount of surface pitting, compared with control fruits. The results indicate the MA storage using Xtend film is beneficial for extending the storage and shelf life of cherries.
