Abstract

Respiration and microbial infection are important causes of postharvest spoilage of fruits and vegetables (F&V). Atmosphere storage technology can significantly reduce postharvest losses. This comprehensive review aims to cover recent progress in the application of atmosphere storage to F&V preservation, not only focusing on the effect of gas conditions but also evaluating combination applications involving newer preservation technologies, including ethylene scavengers, high-pressure and decompression technology, ozone, ultraviolet radiation, active packaging, high-voltage electrostatic field, plasma treatment, and pulse-controlled atmosphere. Appropriate choice of storage conditions optimal for each F&V is essential since the physiological properties and sensory qualities are affected by them. The combination of atmosphere storage with these emerging technologies could contribute to significant reductions in food loss during storage.
