Résumé

CHANGES IN AIR COMPOSITION OF THE CITRUS STORAGE ATMOSPHERE AND OF THE INTERNAL ATMOSPHERE OF THE FRUIT AS AFFECTED BY THE VENTILATION RATE WERE STUDIED USING 1 GRAPEFRUIT AND 2 ORANGE CULTIVARS. VENTILATION AFFECTED THE CO2 CONCENTRATIONS MORE THAN THE O2 LEVELS OF EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL ATMOSPHERES OF THE FRUIT.IN SMALL-SCALE TESTS, VENTILATION RATES AS LOW AS 10%/HR OF THE EMPTY VOLUME OF THE STORAGE SPACE DID NOT CAUSE MAJOR CHANGES IN THE GAS COMPOSITION. IN COMMERCIAL TESTS, AN INCREASED RATE OF VENTILATION (70 TO 100%/HR) WAS NEEDED TO REACH SIMILAR RESULTS. THE AUTHORS RECOMMEND REDUCING THE VENTILATION RATE FROM 150 OR 200%/HR, THE RATE NOW COMMONLY EMPLOYED, TO 100%/HR.
