Effect of carbon dioxide (CO) and oxygen (O) levels on quality of 'Palmer' mangoes under controlled atmosphere storage.

With the objective to evaluate the modifications in the fruit quality, 'Palmer' mangoes were stored at 12.8 °C for 30 days in controlled atmosphere storage that contained a low level of oxygen (5 kPa) which was associated with increasing levels of carbon dioxide CO (0, 1, 5, 10, 15 and 20 kPa CO). Controlled atmosphere storage did not effect mango respiration.
