The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of controlled atmosphere (CA) on quality preservation of ‘Laetitia’ plums, mainly on internal breakdown, in order to determine the best CA storage conditions. Two experiments were carried out one in 2010, and another in 2011. In 2010, besides cold storage (CS; 21.0 kPa O2 + 0.03 kPa CO2), the fruits were stored under the following CA conditions (kPa O2+kPa CO2): 1+3, 1+5, 2+5, 2+10, and 11+10. In 2011, the fruits were stored under CS and CA of 1+0, 1+1, 2+1, and 2+2. The fruit stored under different CA conditions had lower respiration and ethylene production, better preservation of flesh firmness, texture and titratable acidity, lower skin red color, and lower incidence of skin cracking than the fruit in CS. In 2010, the fruit under CA with 2+5, 1+5, and 1+3 had a pronounced delay in ripening, although it exhibited a high incidence of internal breakdown. In 2011, the CA conditions with 2+1 and 2+2 provided the best delay in ripening and a reduced incidence of internal breakdown. The best CA condition for cold storage (at 0.5°C) of ‘Laetitia’ plums is 2 kPa O2 + 2 kPa CO2.

ABSTRACT Controlled atmosphere storage allows for the long-term and short-term storage of fruit without a significant decrease in quality, resulting in a longer shelflife of fresh fruit. The Department of Horticulture at the West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin conducted research on the effects of post-harvest precooling (3-4°C within two hours) and storage conditions (conventional cold room and controlled atmosphere storage) on fruit firmness, chemical composition, colour and weight loss. After six weeks of storage, it was found that the quality of fruit had declined. In comparison with fresh fruit, the harvest was found to have lost weight and darkened in colour. In addition, a decrease in firmness and the content of ascorbic acid and polyphenolic compounds was also observed. The fruits that were stored in a cold room with a controlled atmosphere and rapidly chilled immediately after harvest were the least affected. In addition, the research showed that there was a high correlation between the anthocyanin index and the polyphenol content in the fruits. To maintain the high quality of the fruit, the fruit must be very rapidly cooled soon after harvest and stored under optimal conditions - a cold room with a controlled atmosphere.

The aim of this research was to investigate the aroma profile and changes of individual volatiles during regular air (RA) and controlled atmosphere (CA) storage of ‘Conference’ pear during six months at 0 °C. Gas combinations used were: RA; 0.5 kPa O2 + 0.5 kPa CO2; 1.5 kPa O2 + 1.5 kPa CO2; 0.5 kPa O2 + 6.0 kPa CO2 and 3.0 kPa O2 + 6.0 kPa CO2. The main compounds found during ripening of ‘Conference’ pear were butyl acetate (34 %), ethyl acetate (16 %), hexyl acetate (12 %), ethanol (11 %) and methyl acetate (5 %). Fruits under RA produced the highest amounts of volatiles and intermediary emissions were measured under 1.5 kPa O2 + 1.5 kPa CO2 and 3.0 kPa O2 + 6.0 kPa CO2. The storage under 0.5 kPa O2 + 0.5 kPa CO2 and 0.5 kPa O2 + 6.0 kPa CO2 induced the strongest inhibition in total aroma production. Under CA, the emission of ethyl acetate was not significantly suppressed even under 0.5 kPa O2 + 6.0 kPa CO2. Ethanol release increased during shelf-life in fruits of all storage conditions. Butyl acetate was only slightly suppressed even under 0.5 kPa O2 + 6.0 kPa CO2 and hexyl acetate, was significantly reduced only under 0.5 kPa O2 combined with 6.0 kPa CO2.
