Maintaining optimal atmosphere conditions for fruits and vegetables throughout ...
Brech, J. K.; Chau, K. V.; Fonseca, S. C.; Oliveira, F. A. R.; Silva, F. M.; Nunes, M. C. N.; Bender, R. J.Optimal controlled and modified atmospheres (CA and MA) for fresh produce vary according to the specie, its maturity or ripeness stage, the temperature, and the duration of exposure. However, individual lots of produce are typically handled for different times and at different temperatures during storage, transportation, and retail display. In this paper, we review some of our previous work showing the potentia...
Controlling Temperature and Water Loss to Maintain Ascorbic Acid Levels in Stra...
Nunes, M. C. N.; Brecht, J. K.; Morais, A. M. M. B.; Sargent, S. A.Chandler’, ‘Oso Grande’ and ‘Sweet Charlie’ strawberries were stored for 8 days at 1 or 10°C, or 4 days at 20°C, either unwrapped or wrapped in PVC film to retard were conducted during the 1 water loss. Total ascorbic acid (AA) content was expressed on a dry weight basis to correct for water loss differences between treatments. Loss of AA was low and did not differ between wrapped treatments at 1 and 10°C, but ...
Quality of pink tomatoes (cv. buffalo) after storage under controlled atmospher...
Nunes, M. C. N.; Morais, A. M. M. B.; Brecht, J. K.; Sargent, S. A.Greenhouse-grown pink tomatoes (cv. Buffalo) were stored in air or in a controlled atmosphere (CA) of 4% O2 plus 2% CO2, to study the effect of CA at chilling and nonchilling temperatures on fruit quality characteristics. Tomatoes could be stored in CA at 12C for three weeks with no major changes in fruit appearance. CA was effective in delaying color development and ripening at this temperature. The soluble so...
Quality of strawberries after storage is reduced by a short delay to cooling
Nunes, M. C. N.; Morais, A. M. M. B.; Brecht, J. K.; Sargent, S. A.The effects of delay to cooling and storage were evaluated on postharvest quality and decay of fresh harvested strawberries. 'Chandler' strawberries were forced-air precooled after delays of 0 or 6 hours at 30°C to study the effect of delaying precooling on decay, and physical and chemical characteristics of strawberries. For decay experiments the fruits were previously inoculated with Botrytis cinerea and Rhiz...
Effects of delays to cooling and wrapping on strawberry quality (cv. Sweet Char...
Nunes, M. C. N.; Brecht, J. K.; Sargent, S. A.; Morais, A. M. M. B.'Sweet Charlie' strawberries were wrapped with PVC polymeric film, and forced-air precooled after delays of O, 6 or 8 hours at 30°C to study the effect of delaying precooling on physical and chemical quality characteristics of the strawberry. Non-wrapped fruits were used as a control. Evaluations were performed after storage for one week at 1°C plus one day at 20°C. Delaying the precooling resulted in less attr...

Nunes, M. C. N.; Brecht, J. K.; Morais, A. M. M. B.; Sargent, S. A.Chandler’, ‘Oso Grande’ and ‘Sweet Charlie’ strawberries were forced-air precooled after delays of 0 or 6 h at 30 °C to study the effect of delaying precooling on physical and chemical quality characteristics of strawberry fruit. Fruit pulp temperatures were equilibrated to 30 °C prior to the start of each experiment to minimise water loss differences between treatments. Evaluations were made after storage for ...
