Summary

TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS OF LOWER THAN 10% OVER A 10-WEEK PERIOD WAS ACHIEVED BY STORING CELERY IN ATMOSPHERES CONTAINING 1% OU 52 COMBINED WITH 2 OR 4% CO2 AT 273 K (0 DEG C). SIGNIFICANT INCREASES IN MARKETABLE CELERY RESULTED WHEN ETHYLENE WAS SCRUBBED FROM SOME ATMOSPHERES. A COMBINATION OF 1 OR 2% O2 AND 2 OR 4% CO2 PREVENTED BLACK STEM DEVELOPMENT DURING THE STORAGE PERIOD. IMPROVED VISUAL COLOUR, APPEARANCE, FLAVOUR, AND INCREASED MARKETABLE CELERY JUSTIFIES THE USE OF 4% CO2 IN CELERY STORAGES.
