Fruits in the control sample stored for 30 days at 13 °C
and 90% RH presented 10% of mass loss (Figure 1).
For the fruits stored at 21% O2 and 0.03% CO2 with ethylene scrubby,the mass loss decreased (5.22%).
In both treatments at high
oxygen concentration, there were some damages in the fruits
that impaired the determination of mass loss aft er their removal
from the atmosphere chamber and storage for 9 days under
refrigeration.
