Controlled atmosphere (CA) in combination with carbon monoxide (CO) was tested to evaluate the effectiveness on the control of green mold on 'Ponkan' oranges (Citrus reticulate Blanco). CO at 5 or 9% combination with 5% O2±5% CO2 significantly reduced the decay incidence and severity on inoculated 'Ponkan' orange held at 25℃ for up to 4 or 6 days However CO addition to air without CA shows the highest rot development Ben-late or CA also showed effective but in less degree of decay control. CA with or without CO as a fumigation agent on the control of oriental fruit fly, the results showed that it is completely ineffective on the hatching rate nor mortality when the oriental fruit flies were held at 25℃ for up to 6 days. CO did not influence the soluble solid content, titratable acidity nor sugar/acid ratio of 'Ponkan' oranges after being treated for 8 days. The results suggest that use of CO added to CA is benificial for controlling the occurrance of green mold on storage and on transit of 'Ponkan' oranges. |
