Summary

A study on controlled atmosphere (CA) storage of cabbage was conducted for 3 years (1996-98) using a sealed plastic tent inside a cold storage room. The composition of the atmosphere within the tent was maintained at 2-6% oxygen (mostly at 3%) and 3-5% carbon dioxide (mostly at 5%). Ethylene concentration was controlled below 0.1 ppm using an ethylene scrubber. Due to a lack of ventilation, the temperature inside the tent was always about 0.7 °C higher than the temperature outside. Results indicated that "Chuchiu" cabbage, the major cultivar grown in Taiwan, had an average storage life of 2 months under conventional cold storage at 0-1 °C. The storage life of another summer cabbage "Sha-fung" was also about 2 months in cold storage and was extended to 3 months under CA storage.
