Summary

Bosc pears were placed in a purge-type controlled-atmosphere (CA) storage immediately after harvest (<24 h) and held for 180 days at 1 °C. Oxygen in all atmospheres was 1.5% and CO2 was 1%, 3% or 5%. Pears were evaluated immediately after removal from CA storage and after ripening for an additional 7 days at 21 °C. The best results were obtained with the 3% CO2 stored fruits.
