Simulated shipment of peaches, plums, and nectarines under controlled atmospheres.

Author(s) : RUSHING J. W.

Summary

During the 92-93 season in Chile, five fruit shipments have been simulated to determine quality differences between fruit placed in controlled atmosphere and non controlled atmosphere containers. Fruit maintained for 14 or 21 days at 0 deg C, 2% O2 and 1 to 5% CO2 atmosphere, then held for 4 days at an ambient temperature of 20 deg C to induce ripening, have ripened more slowly. Firmness is the characteristic most influenced by controlled atmosphere storage. The effects of controlled atmosphere on fruit are more obvious during 21 days rather than 14 days transport.
