Controlled atmospheres for Kensington mango storage: classical atmospheres.

Author(s) : MCLAUCHLAN R. L., BARKER L. R.

Summary

Mango cv. Kensington fruits were stored under 36 different atmospheres (2, 4, 5, 6, 8 or 10% O2 + 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10% CO2) (control fruits were held in air) at 13 deg C for 33 days. Within the concentrations studied, the optimum atmosphere appeared to be around 4% CO2 + 2-4% O2, but the data does suggest that further research is required below 2% O2 and above 10% CO2, as well as at lower storage temperatures to control softening.
