Controlled atmosphere storage of the pomerac.

The response of pomerac (Syzygium malaccense) fruits to controlled atmosphere (CA) storage conditions at 5 deg C of 1% O2 and 5, 8, 11 and 14% CO2 was investigated in a storage trial lasting 30 days, in which a control, refrigerated (5 deg ) treatment was also included. Control fruits showed an average weight loss of 0.087%/day compared with 0.037%/day for CA fruits. CA-stored fruits were much firmer than control fruits and, with the exception of one treatment (1% O2 + 5% CO2), fruits were as firm or firmer than freshly harvested fruits, even after 30 days. CA storage demonstratively maintained the bright red colour and sugar of the pomerac, as measured by the Hunter 'a' value and the total soluble solids content, compared with control fruits, which faded and lost their sweetness much more rapidly.
