Summary

During 5 days of controlled-atmosphere storage in 12% CO2 with either air or 2% O2, internal browning and brown surface spotting were developed. The symptoms increased with extended storage. No injury symptoms were found in fruits during the first 5 days of storage in air or 2% O2 controlled-atmosphere conditions. The levels of phenolic compounds decreased. High CO2 may initially cause an accumulation of phenolic compounds.
