Effect of high-carbon dioxide and low-oxygen controlled atmospheres on postharvest decays of apples.

Author(s) : SITTON J. W., PATTERSON M. E.

Type of article: Article

Summary

Controlled-atmosphere storage with carbon-dioxide concentrations above 2.8% reduced the development of lesions incited by Botrytis cinerea, Penicillium expansum and Pezicula malicorticis in McIntosh, Delicious, and Golden Delicious apples (Malus domestica) kept for 61 days at 0 deg C. Low-oxygen atmospheres were less effective for decay control. Apple firmness, soluble solids, and titratable acidity were not affected by the high-carbon dioxide or low-oxygen atmosphere treatments.
