Summary

COMMENTS ON TESTS CARRIED OUT IN THE LABORATOIRE DE PHYSIOLOGIE DES ORGANES VEGETAUX APRES RECOLTE (CNRS, MEUDON, FRANCE) SHOWING THE ADVANTAGE OF COMBINING THE COOLING OF PLANT PRODUCTS AND CONTROLLED-ATMOSPHERE STORAGE, ACCURATELY DETERMINING O2 AND CO2 LEVELS. HYPOBARIC STORAGE SEEMS TO BE AN IMPROVEMENT COMPARED TO CONVENTIONAL CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE; BUT IT BRINGS ABOUT BIG INVESTMENT COSTS AND IT IS STILL NOT USED IN EUROPE. STUDIES ARE BEING MADE ON THE ADVANTAGES OF AIR AND CONTROLLED-ATMOSPHERE STORAGE WITH HUMIDITY LEVELS NEAR SATURATION (97 TO 100%), A TECHNIQUE USED IN CANADA AND IN THE USA FOR THE STORAGE OF VARIOUS VEGETABLES. POSSIBILITY OF INTERMITTENT WARMING, DURING COLD STORAGE, MENTIONING THE PERIOD AND FREQUENCY OF WARMING, AND OF A PERIODICAL BRIEF INCREASE IN CO2 LEVEL. G.G.
