Controlled atmosphere (CA) storage involves altering and maintaining an atmospheric composition that is different from air composition (about 78% N2, 21% O2, and 0.03% CO2); generally, O2 below 8% and CO2 above 1% are used. Atmospheric modification should be considered as a supplement to maintenance of optimum ranges of temperature and RH for each commodity in preserving quality and safety of fresh fruits, ornamentals, vegetables, and their products throughout postharvest handling.
