ShareControlled-atmosphere storage trials with kiwifruits, prickly pears, and plums.
Author(s) : TESTONI A., ECCHER ZERBINI P.
Summary
The use and effects of controlled atmosphere studied on several species. Kiwifruit can be stored in controlled atmosphere for more than 6 months, however with CO2 concentration higher than 5% the fruit does not soften regularly in the core. A method for measuring core hardness was developed, and the effect of different gas concentrations on hardness was studied. The atmosphere with 8% CO2 and 5% O2 and with ethylene scrubbing showed the highest amount of fruit with core disorder. Other results are given.
