The aim of the study was to examine use controlled atmosphere (CA) box, a new technology, for sweet cherry storage. In addition, this technology compared normal (NA) and modified (MAP) storages commonly used in preservation. ‘0900 Ziraat’ variety, most popular Turkey, as material. Fruit harvested at optimum stage were transported laboratory immediately, pre-cooled 1°C. After pre-cooling, fruit ...

Concepts of post harvest physiology and produce storage. Types of produce fruits, vegetables, seeds, grains, spices, roots, tubers, ornamentals, etc. Effect of environment such as climate, soil, pests and diseases on crop growth, maturity indices. Pre-harvest cultural management such as nutrient appropriateness, adequacy of control of pests and diseases, timeliness of farm operation including w...

The onion is a low perishability product, but in long-term storage, postharvest losses occur due to some phytopathological and sprouting factors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of storage in controlled atmospheres (CA) on onion cultivar “Sierra Blanca” for seven months. The onions were subjected to three treatments: 1 % O2 + 1 % CO2 (T1), 3 % O2 + 5 % CO2 (T2), both at 2.5 °C ...

Freshly harvested "Florido" yam tubers (a highly desirable variety of the species D. alata) were subjected to a temperature around 32° C. (90° F.) and relative humidity 90 percent. Wounded tissues suberized in about 4 days. This curing may be accomplished either controlled environmental rooms or under tropical prevailing ambient conditions. The formation cork tissue during suberization protects...
