Dynamic CA-storage of fruits and vegetables using pepino as an example.

摘要

Harvestable pepino (Solanum muricatum) fruits were stored under different controlled atmosphere (CA) conditions (two static and one dynamic gas compositions) at 5deg C and 98% relative humidity for 10 and 21 days. Skin colour, firmness and beta-carotene sugar and acid contents were measured. Both forms of CA storage resulted in higher quality that storage at 5 and 18deg C. Short bursts of high CO2 concentrations improved skin firmness and colour intensity.
