“…Controlled atmosphere storage (CA) involves the deliberate modulation of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), oxygen (O 2 ), and nitrogen levels in enclosures ranging from chambers and tarpaulins to packaging and bags. CA is shown effective in reducing the respiration rate and other metabolic reactions, decreasing decay, extending the storability, preserving quality parameters, and maintaining flavor in many grape varieties when CO 2 was maintained over the range 10–15 kPa. − However, the effect of specific CA conditions on the retention and perception of the Muscat flavor in grapes during cold storage has not yet been explored. Therefore, an initial endeavor toward understanding the nuances of CA as related to commercially coveted Muscat varieties was conducted.…”
Muscat flavor can be rapidly lost in cold storage and
reduces consumer
acceptance for grapes known for this unique flavor. Muscat flavor,
quality, and volatile profiles were comparatively evaluated following
grape storage for 21, 42, or 63 days at 1 °C in air versus a
controlled atmosphere (CA) of either 1 kPa of O2, 10 kPa
of CO2, or in combination to examine the potential means
to mitigate the flavor loss. CA of 1 kPa of O2 and 10 kPa
of CO2 maintained Muscat flavor in long-term storage, while
in air, 24.1% was lost. Partial least-squares regression analysis
and odor activity values (OAV) indicated that changes of linalool
(OAV 232) and geraniol (OAV 48.3) volatiles were the most responsible
for the perception of Muscat aroma. Results indicated that CA with
low oxygen could be useful for preventing the loss of Muscat flavor
from grapes in cold storage.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
