Summary
Atmospheres of 0.1-0.2% O2 or 0.1-0.2% O2 + 7.5-9% CO2 at 5 °C were optimal in ensuring high-quality minimally processed green onions. Controlled atmosphere (CA) slowed extension growth. Prestorage heat treatment (55 °C, 2 min) controlled "telescoping" of cut onions and in combination with CA enabled a shelf life over 2 weeks to be achieved. Heat treatment plus CA did not reduce soluble sugar and thiosulfinate concentrations.
