Summary

The physiology and quality of carrot (Daucus carota L.) slices, sticks, and shreds stored in air or controlled atmosphere (CA) of 0.5% O2 and 10% CO2 at 0, 5, and 10 deg C were monitored. The respiration of all 3 types of cut tissue was reduced when stored in CA and the reduction was greater with slices or sticks than with shreds. CA was beneficial in reducing decay, weight loss, pH of sticks and shreds, white discoloration on shreds, and microbial growth on sticks. The latter two occured only 0 and 5 deg C.
