Controlled atmosphere storage of South African plums.

Author(s) : TRUTER A. B., COMBRINK J. C.

Summary

Three plum cultivars were stored for different periods under 4 storage conditions. Shelf life simulation of 7 days was done at 10 °C. Promising results were obtained. Laetitia plums could be stored for 8 weeks, followed by 7 days at 10 °C. Pre-storage conditioning controlled atmosphere (CA) storage at 3% O2 + 5% CO2 and partial CA storage were the best treatments for this cultivar. The best treatments for Casselman plums were CA storage at 3% O2 + 5% CO2 and partial CA storage. For Songold plums the best treatment was CA storage at 3% O2 + 5% CO2 and the maximum storage time was 7 weeks, followed by 7 days at 10 °C.
