Type of article: Article
Summary
Green beans were stored at 0,5 or 20 deg C in air containing ethylene. The quality of individual beans was scored at regular intervals and the time to deteriorate to an unacceptable quality score was calculated. The maximum storage life achieved at an ethylene concentration of 0.005 microlitre/litre was 29, 20 and 11 days at 0.5 and 20 deg C, respectively. The amount of ethylene in the atmosphere around beans held in commercial markets was found to range from 0.17 to 1.17 microlitre/litre suggesting that the useful marketing period of beans could be greatly extended by better control over ethylene accumulation.
