Summary

Atmospheres for optimal preservation of the florets were evaluated using continuous streams of the following defined atmospheres (%CO2 / %O2): 0/20 (air control), 6/1, 6/2, 6/3, and 3/2, 6/2, 9/2. The atmosphere consisting of 6% CO2 and 2% O2 resulted in extended storage of broccoli florets from 5 weeks in air to 7 weeks. These beneficial effects were especially noticeable when the florets were returned from controlled atmosphere at 4 deg C to air at 20 deg C.
