Summary

The response of blueberries (Vaccinium angustifolium cultivars Fundy and Blomidon) to controlled atmosphere storage in all combinations of 1, 2 or 5% O2 and 0, 5, 10 or 15% CO2 of storage in air at 0 deg C, was investigated. Decreasing O2 reduced the percentage of decayed berries and maintained titratable acids. Botrytis infection before storage reduced berry quality, but cultivars responded differently. The quality of berries one week after removal from storage was influenced primarily by cultivar, storage time and shelf temperature and not by storage atmosphere.
