Résumé

Uses of preservation technologies for fruits and vegetables based on alteration of the overhead atmosphere have increased in the past decades, as consumers demand fewer and less extensive treatments (of chemical nature or otherwise) of food items. This paper provides a specific review of available technologies which have in common the deliberate formulation of the overhead atmosphere, with the goal of extending the useful life of fresh fruits and vegetables. Classical and novel technologies pertaining to controlled and modified atmospheres are duly presented and discussed, in terms of principles, advantages, limitations and applications. Finally, updated recommendations encompassing controlled and modified atmospheres are listed.
