    Determination of controlled atmosphere storage conditions for '0900 ziraat' sweet cherry fruit
    (Int Soc Horticultural Science, 2008-01-01) Eris, A.; Burak, M; Lang, GA; Gülen, H; İpek, A; Akbudak, B.; Tezcan, H.; Eris, A; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Ziraat Fakültesi.; Burak, M; Lang, GA; Gulen, H; Ipek, A
    The aim of this research was to determine the effects of combinations of low O-2 and high CO2 in the storage atmosphere on the storage quality of '0900 Ziraat' sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.). The fruit were placed in six different %CO2:%O-2 atmosphere combinations (0:21 [control], 5:5, 10:5, 15:5, 20:5, 25:5) at 0 +/- 0.5 degrees C and 90 +/- 5% relative humidity for up to 60 days. The fruit was stored more successfully in 20:5 and 25:5 treatments than in other treatments. Accordingly, it is recommended that the levels of CO2 for the storage of '0900 Ziraat' should be increased above 15% in CA storage.

    Research on the CA storage of fig cv Bursa Siyahi
    (International Society Horticultural Science, 1994) Henze, Juergen; Türk, R.; Eris, A.; Özer, M. Hakan; Tunçelli, E.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Ziraat Fakültesi/Bahçe Bitkileri Bölümü.; AAH-4101-2021
    There is a close relationship between the fig, one of the exotic fruits, reaching the consumers' table with a high quality and the conditions of storage and transportation. This study was carried out in order to increase transportation life of the fresh fig. Furthermore, four different CO2:O2 concentrations (including a control) were used, at 0 °C and 90–95 % RH, to determine optimum CO2 and O2 levels during CA storage of the fig. Fig samples were taken out, at different periods, during CA storage of 40 days. Physical analyses such as weight loss (%), flesh firmness (lb/inch2) flavour and aroma were carried out as well as chemical analyses such as respiration rate (mg/CO2/Kgh), water soluble solids (%), titratable acid (g/100 ml), pH, invert and total sugars (g/100 g), vitamin C (mg/100 g), carotene and chlorophyll (mg/l). Consequently, it has been determined that Fig "cv. Bursa Siyahi" can be stored for 4 weeks at 0 °C and 90–95 % RH with CO2:O2 ratios of 3:3 and 5:5.
