Résumé

A low-cost controlled-atmosphere storage system was designed and constructed based on the principle of steady state diffusion. A container was provided with 2 diffusion channels: one for oxygen equilibrium and the other, for carbon dioxide. The relative humidity was controlled by means of a saturated solution contained in a channel especially designed for that purpose as well as to provide a good airtight operation. Cos lettuce was used for testing the controlled-atmosphere container under a pre-established atmosphere of 3.5% O2 and 0.5% CO2. Results showed that the container can be used to provide low-cost controlled atmospheres for perishable products.
