Summary

Navaho and Arapaho blackberries (Rubus sp.) were stored at 2 °C in ambient atmosphere (0.03 kPa CO2, 21 kPa O2) or CA (15 kPa CO2, 10 kPa O2) with the following treatments: 3 days of CA storage plus 11 days in air; 7 days of CA storage plus 7 days with air; 14 days of constant CA storage. Titratable acidity was higher after 3 and 14 days CA storage for `Arapaho' and `Navaho', respectively, compared with control fruit. At least 7 days of CA was needed to reduce incidence of decayed fruit in both cultivars. Monomeric anthocyanin content decreased 20% after 7 days CA storage compared with control blackberries. Consumer panels did not detect off-flavors in blackberries treated with CA for 3 or 7 days.
