Summary

The overall judgment of the effect of storage conditions on fruit quality through the consumer sensory test revealed that blueberry fruits could be kept under air conditions at 0-1 °C up to three weeks in acceptable condition. However, for a longer storage period up to six weeks, it is highly recommended to store highbush blueberries cv. Duke under high CO2 levels (up to 12 kPa) without O2 reduction. higher CO2 level is not recommended due to its negative impact on flavour, firmness, and acidity content.
