Postharvest quality of satsuma mandarin fruit affected by controlled atmosphere.

This research was conducted to find out whether controlled atmosphere (CA) storage can maintain freshness of satsuma fruits for longer compared to cold storage. Fruits harvested in Nov. 1998 at Jeju Province, Korea Republic, were stored in three different CA conditions including cold storage. The CA treatments consisted of combinations of 3%, 5% and 10.9% CO2 with 1% and 3-3.9% O2, respectively. Weight and firmness were maintained higher in static CA chambers than in cold storage. Soluble solids content of fruits in cold storage increased until 2 months of storage and thereafter sharply decreased, whereas that of CA-stored fruit increased slowly throughout the storage period of 120 days. Citric acid decreased in all the treatments with a partially longer retention in CA chambers during storage. Sensory evaluation clearly showed that CA could extend the marketing period of satsumas.
