The use of controlled atmosphere storage has great potential to reduce the postharvest use of chemicals, maintain the nutritional quality of fruits and vegetables and reduce physical losses. This revised edition incorporates the latest research to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the range of conditions currently in use, their effect on flavour, quality and physiology, the influence of pests and diseases, environmental factors and packaging as well as a synthesis of recommendations for each fruit and vegetable.
