- Intervention effect Modified atmosphere bags improved pear quality relative to normal packaging in regular atmosphere storage.
- Observation Pear quality deteriorated in modified atmosphere bags under controlled atmosphere within 45 days.
- Recommendation The authors recommend storing pears in modified atmosphere bags only in regular atmosphere.
- Intervention effect Delayed use of modified atmosphere bags offered little or no pear quality advantage regardless of prior storage type.
