PRINCIPLES AND EFFECTS OF HYPOBARIC STORAGE OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.

Author(s) : DILLEY D. E.

Summary

THE PRINCIPLES OF HYPOBARIC STORAGE APPLY TO COMMODITIES WHICH BENEFIT SOLELY BY REDUCING THE OXYGEN PARTIAL PRESSURE AND TO THOSE WHICH BENEFIT ADDITIONALLY BY LOWERING THE INTERNAL ATMOSPHERE CONCENTRATION OF ETHYLENE AND OTHER VOLATILE BY-PRODUCTS OR METABOLISM. HYPOBARIC STORAGE MAINTAINS APPLES AND PEARS IN THEIR PRECLIMACTERIC STAGE AND MARKEDLY ARRESTS RIPENING OF POSTCLIMACTERIC FRUITS. IT RETAINS SWEETNESS IN SWEET CORN ; DELAYS LOSS OF ASCORBIC ACID IN ASPARAGUS ; PREVENTS INTERNAL BROWNING OF MUSHROOMS ; PREVENTS SCALD OF APPLES ; MAINTAINS FRESHNESS OF SWEET CHERRIES AND BLUEBERRIES.
