Effects of modified atmosphere on the conservation of Cantaloupe melon wild type and transgenic ACO antisense.

Author(s) : FLORES F., ROMOJARO F., MARTÍNEZ-MADRID M. C., et al.

Summary

Wild type and transgenic antisense ACC oxidase (1-amino-cyclopropane-1-carboxylate oxidoreductase) melons were wrapped in retractile or non-retractile film and stored at 2 °C for 7 and 14, and 7, 14 and 21 days, respectively. After storage, the fruits were transferred to another chamber at 22 °C, either in air or in modified atmosphere, for 4 days. Modified-atmosphere packaging significantly reduced water loss in the fruits. Wild type melons were not suitable for consumption even after 7 days of storage. Transgenic fruits were still marketable after 21 days of storage.
