Summary

Firm-breaker at firm-mature flat peaches, harvested from a commercial orchard in Spain, were stored in air for 10 days at 20 °C, or precooled and sealed in 1 or 2 unperforated films or 1 macroperforated polypropylene film for 14 or 21 days at 2 °C. The atmosphere inside the macroperforated film bags remained close to the composition of air during storage. For unperforated bags of several qualities, setting conditions of steady state atmosphere were studied, as well as the different compositions obtained; the results on shelf life woolliness and internal browning were evaluated.
