Quality changes in "Sweetheart" cherries stored in controlled atmospheres.

Author(s) : REMÓN S., FERRER A., NEGUERUELA A. I., et al.

Summary

Cherries were harvested at commercial maturity and stored in air and in four different controlled atmospheres at 1 °C and 95% relative humidity. Changes in soluble solids, titratable acidity, texture, anthocyanin content, and colour, as well as the effects on sensory attributes were monitored. The results show that the commercial period of Sweetheart cherry can be extended by (at least) three weeks by using controlled atmosphere storage without any detrimental effects on quality.
