storage life of blueberry fruit has previously been shown to be enhanced by harvesting less-mature fruit ( Ballinger et al., 1978 ; Beaudry et al., 1998 ; Galletta et al., 1971 ) and maintenance under a controlled atmosphere (CA) ( Beaudry et al., 1998

Multiple types of flesh browning can occur as storage disorders in ‘Honeycrisp’ apple ( Malus × domestica ) fruit. Three of the browning disorders that occur within the cortex have been previously described as “soggy breakdown” ( Watkins et al

The primary functions of hypoxia (low oxygen) in the storage of perishables are to inhibit ethylene action, to reduce metabolic rate through respiratory inhibition, and to reduce cut surface browning ( Beaudry, 1999 , 2000 ; Burg and Burg, 1965
