e0“The atmosphere consisting of 6% CO 2 + 2% O 2 resulted in extended storage of broc‐coli florets from 5 wk in air to 7 wk. This was demonstrated by delayed yellowing, prolonged chlorophyll retention, reduced development of mold and offensive odors (by sensory observation), and better water retention.”

- Intervention effect Cutting broccoli heads into florets increased respiration during storage at 4°C in air.
- Observation Ethylene production was stimulated after 10 days.
- Intervention effect A 6% CO 2 plus 2% O 2 atmosphere extended floret storage from 5 weeks in air to 7 weeks.
- Intervention effect The controlled atmosphere delayed floret yellowing.
- Intervention effect The controlled atmosphere prolonged chlorophyll retention.
- Intervention effect The controlled atmosphere reduced offensive odors.
- Intervention effect The controlled atmosphere improved water retention.
- Observation Controlled atmosphere benefits were especially evident after transfer from 4°C CA to 20°C air.
