Summary

The aim of the study was to determine a CO2 + O2 combination using a controlled atmosphere (CA) storage technique which would give the best results. Tomatoes were stored in CA conditions for 60 or 70 days at 15 °C and kept in air for another 10 days for ripening at 20 °C. They were then evaluated for changes in colour, firmness, acidity, total soluble solids (TSS), weight loss and decay during a 70-day storage period. While maximum deterioration occurred in the control fruits stored or those stored in 1% O2 + 5% CO2 concentration, fruits deteriorated the least in 3% CO2 + 5.5 % 02 gas composition during the 70- or 80-day storage period.
