“…Similar results were previously reported by some researchers [7, 10]. Ali et al [7] reported that the MDA content in all stored litchi fruit samples increased during a 35-day storage period.…”

“…Selcuk and Erkan [25] reported that the WL of medlar fruit stored in MAP and CA was lower than that of an RA-stored sample. Ali et al [7] also found that, among different CA combinations, litchi fruit stored under 1 % O 2 +5 % CO 2 maintained substantially about 2.71-fold less weight loss during 35 days of storage [10]. Ali et al [7] and Mendya et al [26] demonstrated that the water is the main component found in fruits and vegetables, and the reduction of its loss from the commodity is the most critical requirement for maintenance of postharvest quality attributes.…”

“…The ascorbic acid content reduced with advancement in fruit maturity, and the CA-stored samples exhibited higher retention of VC during 20 days storage period than the fruit in RA. However, this result might be attributed to the inhibited respiration rate and the reduced oxidation of various organic acids [7, 10].…”

“…However, the fruits kept in 1 % O 2 +5 % CO 2 conditions displayed a lower MDA content (60 %) than the samples subject to other treatments. Studies performed by Mditshwa et al [10] suggested that the MDA content in all stored apples (cv. Granny Smith) increased with prolonged storage time, which was caused by elevated lipid peroxidation.…”

“…Among alternative treatments, the use of controlled atmosphere (CA) treatment has been extensively researched and the technology is commercially applied to several products, such as litchi fruits [7, 8], pomegranate [6], and apples [9, 10]. The technique of CA can provide different concentrations of gas, such as low O 2 and high CO 2 levels, which are always used with the appropriate temperature and relative humidity (RH) for fruits storage [6, 7].…”

‘Eureka’ lemon fruits were stored under four controlled atmosphere- (CA-) combinations at 8°C for 20 days to investigate the effects on weight loss (WL), total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA), vitamin C (VC), total phenolic content (TPC), sodium carbonate-soluble pectin (SSP), malondialdehyde (MDA), and volatile compounds. Results showed that the contents of TSS, TA, VC, and SSP in the stored fruits reduced during the storage period, while the WL and MDA increased. Fruit stored under CA2-combination (6 % O2+8 % CO2) showed the lower contents of WL and MDA and the higher content of TSS, TA, TPC, and VC than that of other treated fruits. The main volatile compounds present in the lemons were terpenoids, aldehydes, alcohols, and esters. In addition, both the terpenoid and aldehyde content are substantially higher in lemons exposed to CA2 conditions. In contrast, the alcohols and esters displayed elevated levels in the regular air (RA) stored fruit. In conclusion, CA with the suitable conditions proves to be better than RA as a storage regimen to keep the quality of lemons. These results indicated that the application of 6% O2+8% CO2 CA conditions could maintain the quality of ‘Eureka’ lemon fruit during the storage time of 20 days and should be the optimal storage environment for postharvest Eureka lemons.
