Type of article: Article

Summary

LOW O2 (2.0, 1.0 OR 0.5%) OR ELEVATED CO2 (10, 15 OR 20%) CONCENTRATIONS AND THEIR COMBINATIONS REDUCED RESPIRATION AND ETHYLENE PRODUCTION RATES OF < SELVA > STRAWBERRIES AT 275 K (2 DEG C). AFTER TRANSFER FROM THE VARIOUS CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERES (CA) TO AIR, RESPIRATION AND ETHYLENE PRODUCTION RATES INCREASED. ATMOSPHERES OF 1.0% O2 + 15% CO2 AND 0.5% O2 + 20% CO2 LED TO THE ACCUMULATION OF ETHANOL. THE COMBINATIONS OF REDUCED O2 AND ELEVATED CO2 HAD MORE PRONOUNCED RESIDUAL EFFECTS THAN EITHER REDUCED O2 OR ELEVATED CO2 ALONE. EXPOSURES TO CA FOR 4 DAYS HAD GREATER RESIDUAL EFFECTS THAN EXPOSURE TO CA FOR 1 TO 3 DAYS.
