Summary

PEARS WERE STORED AT 274 K (1 DEG C) FOR 15 WEEKS UNDER NORMAL ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS AND UNDER CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE (CA) CONDITIONS AT CO2:O2 CONCENTRATION OF 0.1:2 ; 3:3 AND 6:15%. THERE WAS A MORE PRONOUNCED DECREASE IN WEIGHT LOSS UNDER CA THAN UNDER NORMAL ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS ; THIS WAS THOUGHT TO BE DUE TO DIFFERENCES IN RH. HOWEVER, CA STORAGE PRODUCED A MUCH HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF PHYSIOLOGICAL DISORDERS (HOLLOWS IN THE FLESH) AND DECAY. AFTER STORAGE AT 6% CO2:15% O2, FRUITS EXHIBITED REDUCED RIPENING AND HAD A LOWER SUGAR CONTENT AND A HIGHER VITAMIN C CONTENT THAN THOSE STORED UNDER NORMAL ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS ; ONLY NON-SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS WERE PRODUCED UNDER THE OTHER CA CONDITIONS.
