Controlled Atmosphere Storage of Fruits and Vegetables (Second Edition)
Over the last 80 years or so, an enormous volume of literature has been published on the subject of controlled atmosphere storage of fruits and vegetables.

Over the last 80 years or so, an enormous volume of literature has been published on the subject of controlled atmosphere storage of fruits and vegetables. It would be the work of a lifetime to begin to do those results justice in presenting a comprehensive and focused view,
interpretation and digest for its application in commercial practice. Such a review is in demand
to enable those engaged in the commerce of fruits and vegetables to be able to utilize this technology and reap its benefits in terms of the reduction of postharvest losses, and maintenance
of their nutritive value and organoleptic characteristics. The potential use of controlled atmosphere storage as an alternative to the application of preservation and pesticide chemicals is of
continuing interest.
In order to facilitate the task of reviewing the literature, I have had to rely on a combination of reviewing original publications and consulting reviews and learned books. The latter
are not always entirely satisfactory since they may not give their source of information and I
may have inadvertently quoted the same work more than once. Much reliance has been made
on conference proceedings, especially the International Controlled Atmosphere Research Conference, held every few years in the USA; the European Co-operation in the Field of Scientific
and Technical Research (COST 94), which held postharvest meetings throughout Europe
between 1992 and 1995; and the International Society for Horticultural Science’s regular international conferences; and, in particular, on CAB Abstracts.
Different views exist on the usefulness of controlled atmosphere storage. Blythman (1996)
described controlled atmosphere storage as a system that ‘amounts to deception’ from the consumer’s point of view. The reason behind this assertion seems to be that the consumer thinks that
the fruits and vegetables that they purchase are fresh and that controlled atmosphere storage
technology ‘bestows a counterfeit freshness’. Also the consumer claims that storage may change
produce in a detrimental way and cites changes in texture of apples, ‘potatoes that seem watery
and fall apart when cooked and bananas that have no flavour’. Some of these contentions are true
and need addressing, but others are oversimplifications of the facts. Another view was expressed
by David Sainsbury in 1995 and reported in the press as: ‘These techniques [controlled atmosphere storage] could halve the cost of fruit to the customer. It also extends the season of availability, making good eating-quality fruit available for extended periods at reasonable costs’. |
