Use of Carbon Monoxide. The addition of CO to CA
May improve the potential for Benefit for Some Fruits.
Burg and Burg (one thousand nine hundred and sixty-nine) reported that CO, which exerts its Biological effects by binding to Metal-containing enzymes, Can replace C "H, in all of its functions. . Solomos and Laties (1973) reported that O.L'1 CO in air caused a rapid onset of the respiratory climacteric, GH, production, and ripening of avocados and bananas. Similar results with mature-green tomatoes were reported by Kader et al. . (the 1,977th).
Recently, there has been an increasing interest in using CO because of its effectiveness at 5-10% in inhibition of Decay on Fruits (Woodruff, 1,977th; Kader et al., 1977; 1978a; El-Goorani and Sommer. , 1979). CO added to CA (low 0. and / or elevated CO ", has been found to be more effective in decay control than CO added to air. Kader et al. (1978a) reported that 5-10% CO +. air treatments increased COzand CH, production rates and hastened ripening of mature green tomatoes, but did not affect ripening rate of fruits picked partially ripe. When CO was combined with 4% 0 "had no effect on ripening of mature-green or partially ripe fruits. Thus, 5-10% CO can be a useful supplement to low-O, atmospheres during transit and / or storage of some. fruits to reduce decay incidence and severity without any undesir able effects on ripening.
