“…The observed decreases in fruit weight after storage are mainly due to the loss of water through the fruit and peduncle, resulting in fruit skin wrinkling and wilting, and even drying of the peduncle, with the peduncle showing eight times higher water losses compared to the fruit (Linke et al 2010). Sweet cherry fruits are characterized by low resistance to diffusion through the skin and a higher surface area vs. volume than other fruits (Wani et al 2014).…”

Fruits of the sweet cherry cultivar 'Regina' collected from trees growing on seven rootstocks were stored in a cold room at 2 °C with a normal (NA) and controlled atmosphere (15% and 20% CO 2 and 5% O 2-CA1 and CA2) for 2 weeks. The rootstocks on which the trees grew and the storage conditions significantly affected all fruit parameters tested during both years of the experiment. Fruit from Damil rootstock exhibited higher mean firmness than fruit from Colt rootstock. The effect of rootstocks on the value of soluble solids content (SSC) varied, wherein the fruits from Tabel Edabriz and Damil were characterized by high SSC mean content. The organic acids content (TA) was significantly lower after storage than during harvest time. Fruits from Tabel Edabriz trees were characterized by faster ripening, as was evident by the higher SSC to TA ratio. The amount of mass lost depended significantly and only on the storage conditions-sweet cherries from both CA combinations had the lowest mass losses. The percentage of fruits showing disease symptoms was largely dependent on the weather conditions in the orchard the year before the fruit harvest, as well as atmosphere composition and RH during fruit storage. Cold storage conditions with a high (20%) CO 2 content are recommended for the short-term storage of sweet cherry fruits because they preserve fruit quality parameters: a low decrease in firmness, maintenance of a high SSC/TA ratio, a low percent of fungal infections, and good preservation of green color in the peduncle.

“…The brownest stems were on most ripe fruit in carry bags and the MAP kept the stems on the most mature fruit greener both at chill and retail conditions (Table 1). Green stem is an important quality factor (Linke, Herppich and Geyer, 2010). A positive effect of MAP on keeping green stems of 'Lapins' is reported before in a longer storage time (Kappel et al, 2002;Padilla-Zakour et al, 2004).…”

“…The shelf life of fresh sweet cherries are limited due to factors such as fungal decay, stem browning, desiccation and tissue softening (Linke et al, 2010;Tian et al, 2004). Sweet cherries can have a shelf life of 14-21 days when stored at -1 to 0 °C with RH in the range 90 to 95% (Paull, 1999).…”

Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) may inhibit undesirable quality changes of fruit and vegetables. The aim of this experiment was to evaluate the effect of MAP on selected quality parameters for sweet cherries (Prunus avium L.) stored at simulated distribution chain temperatures. 'Lapins' sweet cherries with maturity grade 4-5 and 6-7 were packaged in macroperforated polyethylene "carry bags" (control) and in trays wrapped in a laser perforated film giving passive modified atmosphere (MAP). After packaging, the cherries were stored at 4 °C for 5 days and thereafter for 3 days at 4 °C (Chill) or 20 °C (Retail) simulating storage at chill or room temperature in the grocery stores. Headspace gas atmosphere in the MA packages, fruit quality, weight loss and amount of fungal fruit decay and other decays were recorded after 1, 5 and 8 days of storage. The gas atmosphere in MA packages was approximately 18% O 2 and 4% CO 2 at 4 °C and between 6-9% O 2 and 12-14% CO 2 at 20 °C. The weight loss was negligible in the MA packages at both storage conditions, whereas the cherries in carry bags showed a weight loss from 1% to 4%. The stem colour was significantly browner in the carry bags compared to the MA packages after 8 days of retail storage. Fungal decay was below 0.5% for both maturity grades stored at chill conditions for 8 days. At retail conditions, 4% and 6% decay was detected for maturity grade 4-5 in MA-packages and carry bags, respectively. For maturity grade 6-7, the MA-packages had 9% decay and the carry bags 7%. The overall picture was that MA packaging for sweet cherries better maintained the fruit quality than the carry bags during the storage period of 8 days at two simulated retail conditions.
