Summary

STORAGE IN A CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE WITH VERY LOW O2: 1.5% CO2 + 1.0% O2, 275.8 K (2.8 DEG C) RETAINED GREATER FRUIT FIRMNESS AND TITRATABLE ACIDS DURING STORAGE AND DURING SUBSEQUENT AIR STORAGE THAN IN CONVENTIONAL CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE (5.0% O2 + 3.0% O2, 275.8 K). A MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE WITH 1.0% O2 DECREASED THE RATE OF C2H4 PRODUCTION AFTER STORAGE OPENING IN COMPARISON WITH SIMILAR FRUIT IN CONVENTIONAL CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE. C2H4 STORAGE ACCUMULATION WAS STIMULATED BY THE PRESENCE OF CO2 AT 0.5% O2, BUT WAS SUPPRESSED BY O2 WHEN 3% O2 WAS MAINTAINED.
