Quality changes of fresh-cut fruits in CA storage.

Fresh-cut strawberry, peach and Honeydew melon were stored in air or in a controlled atmosphere (CA) at 5 deg C for 9 days and respiration rate, quality and microbial population were monitored. The following atmospheres were used in CA storage: 1% O2 + 10% CO2 for hulled strawberries, 1% O2 + 5% CO2 for peach slices, and 2% O2 + 10% CO2 for melon cubes. O2 consumption and CO2 and ethylene production of fresh-cut fruits were lower in CA storage than in air. The quality of fresh-cut fruits held in CA storage was slightly better than in samples held in air. CA storage retarded softening of peach slices. Microbial growth increased during storage but was less on samples held in CA storage than in samples held in air.
