CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE STORAGE AND POLYETHYLENE BAG PACKING OF AVOCADOS.

Author(s) : EKSTEEN G. J., TRUTER A. B.

Summary

FUERTE, EDRANOL AND HASS AVOCADOES STORED IN 2% O2, 10% CO2 AT 278.5 K (5.5 DEG C) ARE BETTER THAN THOSE STORED AT THE SAME TEMPERATURE IN NORMAL AIR. ANTHRACNOSE BECOMES A PROBLEM WITH FRUIT PLACED IN CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE DURING THE RIPENING PERIOD OF THE FRUIT AT 293 K (20 DEG C). PACKING IN POLYETHYLENE BAGS IMPROVED FRUIT QUALITY BUT TEMPERATURE PLAYS THE MAJOR ROLE. THIS SYSTEM IS ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE. A CO2 SHOCK TREATMENT (+ OR -18% CO2 FOR 6 DAYS AT 278.5 K) GAVE PROMISING RESULTS.
