Modified atmosphere storage of cherries.

Author(s) : LURIE S., AHARONI N.

Summary

Two cherry cultivars were tested during the 1996 season for their response to MAP. Chinook was stored for two weeks and Bing was stored for up to three months. Bing cherries stored well for up to two months at 0 °C in MAP using XtendTM film, but their quality deteriorated rapidly during the third month of storage. XtendTM MAP decreased weight loss, decreased decay and maintained green stem color compared to unsealed control fruit. MAP did not affect fruit firmness, soluble solids content, titratable acidity or the amount of surface pitting, compared to control fruits.
