Storage of fruits and vegetables in a controlled atmosphere (ASHRAE Journal. October 2002. p. 72)
All fruits and vegetables are living breathing organisms with individual requirements for the oxygen and carbon dioxide content in their storage environment. With normal air composition, i.e. 21% O2 and 78% nitrogen and other gases, even at low temperature (4°C) fruits and vegetables "die" after a few days of storage. By controlling the parameters of the gas environment in the storages, it is possible to extend their shelf life in a fresh state.
