“…This atmosphere can potentially reduce the rate of respiration of the produce (Zagory and Kader, 1988;Mahajan and Goswami, 2001;Fonseca et al, 2002). Several researchers (Klieber et al, 1996;Sozzi et al, 1999;Akbudak and Eris, 2004;Kudachikar et al, 2011;Ramayya et al, 2012;Majidi et al, 2014;Vunnam et al, 2014) have been conducted experiments on enhancing the shelf life of various fruits by altering the gas compositions. Polymeric films, used as packaging materials for modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) are limited to gas permeability.…”

A study was conducted to extend the shelf-life of tomato by diffusion channel system at the Institute of Agriculture, Visva-Bharati University, Sriniketan, West Bengal during 2010-12. Diffusion channel length 60, 120, 180 and 240 mm and diameter 3, 6, 9 and 12 mm were tested. The storage chambers of two liters capacity made of polyethylene tetrachloride were used. Tomato samples of 800±20 g at breaker stage were taken in each chamber and stored at 10, 20 and 30 °C. Quality characteristics such as physiological loss in weight (PLW), visual quality index (VQI), firmness, total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity, total sugars, ascorbic acid, lycopene and colour change (ΔE) were tested before and after storage to distinguish the relative changes. The stored tomato attained market acceptability after 40, 32 and 23 days at 10, 20 and 30 °C respectively under diffusion channel system. Minimum PLW of 3.37-3.74%, highest VQI number of 6.9-7, maximum firmness of 90-94N, titratable acidity as high as 0.46-0.48%, ascorbic acid content as low as 22.97 mg 100 g -1 , lycopene formation as low as 2.58-2.62 mg 100 g -1 , minimum ΔE of 29.87, TSS of 5.32-5.87 °Brix and total sugar content of 3.31-3.71 g 100 g -1 were recorded in chambers with diffusion channel length 180 mm and diameter 9 mm at 10 and 20 °C. Firmness, acidity and ascorbic acid were found significant (p≤0.05) by temperature, channel length and diameter. Total sugars and lycopene content had a significant difference with temperature and channel diameter. Temperature had a significant effect on TSS but length and diameter of channel had no significant effect.Diffusion channel system works based on the principle of Tomato, diffusion channel, controlled atmosphere storage, physico-chemical characteristics AbstractArticle History

“…Retardation of ripening and associated physiological and biochemical changes (transpiration, respiration, ethylene production, softening and compositional changes) have been achieved by the application of controlled atmosphere (CA), modified atmosphere (MA) or modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) (Kader 1986;Leshuk and Saltveit 1990;Kanellis et al 1993;Kader and Saltveit 2003a, b;Yahia 2009;Kanellis et al 2009;Mangaraj and Goswami 2009). These approaches have in fact become the established methods for extending the postharvest-life of fruits (Yahia 2009;Mangaraj and Goswami 2009;Kader 2009;Sharma et al 2011;Ramayya et al 2011). It has been observed that CA, MA and MAP basically modify the internal gaseous atmosphere of the fruits in favour of low O 2 to CO 2 ratio Elyatem et al 1994;Klieber et al 1996;Baldwin et al 1999;Amarante et al 2001;Gil et al 2002;Kader 2009;Berry and Sargent 2009;Mangaraj and Goswami 2009;Kanellis et al 2009;Yahia 2009;Ramayya et al 2011;Nath et al 2011).…”

Role of internal atmosphere on fruit ripening and storability—a review

2011

Concentrations of different gases and volatiles present or produced inside a fruit are determined by the permeability of the fruit tissue to these compounds. Primarily, surface morphology and anatomical features of a given fruit determine the degree of permeance across the fruit. Species and varietal variability in surface characteristics and anatomical features therefore influence not only the diffusibility of gases and volatiles across the fruits but also the activity and response of various metabolic and physiological reactions/processes regulated by these compounds. Besides the well-known role of ethylene, gases and volatiles; O 2 , CO 2 , ethanol, acetaldehyde, water vapours, methyl salicylate, methyl jasmonate and nitric oxide (NO) have the potential to regulate the process of ripening individually and also in various interactive ways. Differences in the prevailing internal atmosphere of the fruits may therefore be considered as one of the causes behind the existing varietal variability of fruits in terms of rate of ripening, qualitative changes, firmness, shelf-life, ideal storage requirement, extent of tolerance towards reduced O 2 and/or elevated CO 2 , transpirational loss and susceptibility to various physiological disorders. In this way, internal atmosphere of a fruit (in terms of different gases and volatiles) plays a critical regulatory role in the process of fruit ripening. So, better and holistic understanding of this internal atmosphere along with its exact regulatory role on various aspects of fruit ripening will facilitate the development of more meaningful, refined and effective approaches in postharvest management of fruits. Its applicability, specially for the climacteric fruits, at various stages of the supply chain from growers to consumers would assist in reducing postharvest losses not only in quantity but also in quality.

“…2010) on "Kent" mangoes showed that cold storage at 10 o C combined with MAP maintained quality and prolonged the shelf life (to 6 weeks) compared to cold storage alone where the shelf life was extended for only 2-3 weeks. The shelf life of mango fruits was extended up to 21 days using MAP compared to the shorter shelf life of 12 day for fruits not subjected to MAP as observed by Ramayya et al (2012).…”

Recently, the Coolbot™ technology was introduced to smallholder farmers in Kenya as a low-cost alternative to conventional cold rooms. The present study sought to establish the additive benefits of cold storage under Coolbot™ cold storage and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) in mango fruits. The participatory study was conducted in Makueni County of Kenya between November 2014 and July 2015. The mango fruits (variety "Apple mango") were harvested at mature green stage from commercial orchards owned by smallholder farmers. The fruits were selected for uniformity and randomly separated into four batches which were subjected to four different treatments (storage conditions). The treatments included fruits packaged using Activebag® MAP or not packaged and either stored in the Coolbot cold room or at ambient room conditions. A random sample was taken at regular intervals from each of the four storage environments and evaluated for ripening and quality related changes during storage. The parameters evaluated included physiological weight loss, respiration, firmness, color, sugars and vitamin C. Results showed that cold storage extended the shelf life of mango fruits by 23 days without MAP and 28 days with MAP, in comparison to storage at ambient room conditions. Slow ripening under cold storage (with and without MAP) was evidenced by lower rates of respiration, softening, color changes and sugars accumulation compared to ambient room conditions. In addition, cold-stored mango fruits maintained better nutritional quality as evidenced by higher vitamin C levels, 59.77 mg/100mL and 51.8 mg/100mL with and without MAP respectively at the end of storage (day 40 and 35). This was significantly higher (p<0.05) compared to 55.17 and 51.53 mg/100 mL vitamin C for MAP packed and unpacked fruits at the end of storage under ambient room conditions (day 12). The results demonstrate the additive benefit of MAP and cold storage to preserve postharvest quality and extend the shelf life of mango fruits.
