Summary

. VALENCIA >ORANGES (CITRUS SINENSIS) TOLERATED UP TO 20 DAYS OF EXPOSURE TO 0.5, 0.25, OR 0.02% O2 AT 278 OR 283 K (5 OR 10 DEG C), FOLLOWED BY HOLDING IN AIR AT 278 K FOR 7 DAYS WITHOUT ANY DETRIMENTAL EFFECTS ON EXTERNAL OR INTERNAL APPEARANCE. ORANGES STORED IN 0.5, 0.25, OR 0.02% O2 HAD LOWER RESPIRATION RATES, BUT HIGHER RESISTANCE TO CO2 DIFFUSION AND HIGHER ETHYLENE EVOLUTION RATES THAN THOSE STORED IN AIR AT 283 K. SIMILAR, BUT LESS PRONOUNCED, EFFECTS OF THE LOW O2 ATMOSPHERES WERE OBSERVED AT 273 K (0 DEG C) AND 278 K.
