Controlled Atmosphere Storage of Fruits and Vegetables
Journal Article by ASHRAE, 2002
Briley, George C.
More info
Full Description
Fruits and vegetables have individual requirements for the amount of oxygen (0) and carbon dioxide (C02 ) necessary to stay fresh. Controlled atmosphere (CA) storage provides the precise environmental conditions needed for quality preservation. Air is comprised of about 21% oxygen, 78% nitrogen and other gases. This atmosphere, even when chilled to just above freezing, is not conducive to long-term storage of fruit and vegetables.Citation: ASHRAE Journal, vol. 44, no. 10, October 2002
