Summary

Prolonged storage of nectarines leads to development of physiological disorders, mainly woolliness. Controlled atmosphere with elevated CO2 levels have proved effective for various fruits in reducing such disorders and effective modified atmosphere was sought for a better nectarine storage. Experiments were conducted with three nectarine varieties kept for 30 days in cold storage followed by a shelf life period at 20 °C up to ripeness. Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) treatments included bags made from three microperforated films and from a low permeability film, along with a control treatment without MAP.
