Description
Fruits and vegetables have individual requirements for the amount of oxygen (0) and carbon dioxide (C02 ) necessary to stay fresh. Controlled atmosphere (CA) storage provides the precise environmental conditions needed for quality preservation. Air is comprised of about 21% oxygen, 78% nitrogen and other gases. This atmosphere, even when chilled to just above freezing, is not conducive to long-term storage of fruit and vegetables.
