Summary

Gaseous pretreatments and gradual changes of the storage atmosphere are reviewed. Prestorage or periodic high CO2 treatments, initial oxygen stress or severe hypoxia, intermittent warming during cold storage in controlled atmosphere, low ethylene and low oxygen storage and gradual changes in gas composition during controlled atmosphere storage, all inactivate pathogens, alleviate chilling injury, reversibly inhibit fruit ripening or largely delay senescence. These gaseous treatments are described, and the biochemical and physiological basis and their effects on postharvest fruit quality are discussed, paying special attention to the Spanish contributions in this area.
