Summary

Effective controlled atmosphere refrigerated storage of fruit and vegetables requires a perfectly gas-tight storage area and an atmosphere control system. Several approaches to the problem of controlled atmosphere storage are presented. They include equipment for absorption of CO2, nitrogen generators to dilute atmospheric oxygen and infrared CO2 analyzers. The particular difficulties in eliminating ethylene and other volatile products are discussed and the use of chemical absorption and catalytic converters is considered.
