Summary

Increased levels of CO2 and decreased oxygen atmospheres were generated through the use of polyolefin films compared with polyvinylchloride, which reduced decay, and maintained quality during 12 days storage at 1 deg C and two days at 20 deg C. Cardboard trays were found to be preferable to polystyrene ones.
