Summary

High CO2 concentrations as well as controlled atmosphere storage are widely used to extend the storage and shelf-life of many fruits. To investigate the effect of these storage procedures on several berry fruits, strawberries, raspberries, currants and blackberries were stored at three different elevated CO2 concentrations, with or without a parallel reduction in oxygen. Effects on vitamin C content of several fruits are reported.
