Shattenmorelle cherries were stored in various combinations of temperature in air or controlled atmospheres. Blue mould (Penicillium expansum) development was least in cold storage. After 9 days of storage at 0 deg C in air and after subsequent storage for 3 days at 20 deg C the percentage of healthy fruits was 95.8%, and after 24 days of storage at 2 deg C in 10% CO2 + 3% O2 air and after subsequent storage for 3 days at 20 deg C the percentage of healthy fruits was 96.5%. Elimination of CO2 from the atmosphere or an increase in the O2 content to 11% (10% CO2 + 11% O2) were not as effective in reducing the incidence of decay, decreasing the percentage of healthy fruit to 79.0% and 83.7%, respectively.
