Determination of optimum controlled atmosphere regimes for the control of physiological disorders of 'd'Anjou' pears after short-term, mid-term or long-term storage.

Author(s) : CHEN P. M., VARGA D. M.

Summary

None of the CA regimes with O2 between 0.5 and 2% were feasible for the control of physiological disorders in "d'Anjou" pears destined for mid-term or long-term storage. Incidence of pithy brown core (PBC) disorder was negligible in all CA regimes since the concentration of CO2 in all storage conditions had been kept to less than 0.1%. The development of scald in CA-stored "d'Anjou" fruit was associated with the accumulation of conjugated trienes in the peel tissue to greater than 1.5 nmoles/cm2, during 8 weeks of holding period at -1 °C.
