During the entire period of storage, the treatments with 5 and 10 mg L-' chlorine dioxide had no significant effects (P> 0.05) on the respiration rates of the samples compared to those of the control. However, the respiration rates were significantly (P<0.05) reduced by the treatments with 20 and 50 mg L-l chlorine dioxide during the early days of preservation, but slowly declined after day 30. On the day 40, no significant difference was found on the respiration rates of the bell peppers treated with 0, 5, 10, 20, and 50 mg L-' chlorine dioxide gas, respectively. Consequently, it indicated that chlorine dioxide gas treatments could inhibit respiration of postharvest green bell peppers.
