Controlled Atmosphere Storage is a method used to extend the shelf life of perishable products, particularly fruits and vegetables. This technique involves adjusting the levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and humidity in storage environments to slow down the ripening process and reduce spoilage. By creating a specific atmosphere, the quality and freshness of the produce can be maintained for longer periods. This storage method is commonly used in the food industry to ensure that products reach consumers in optimal condition. It is especially beneficial for long-distance transportation, allowing for seasonal fruits to be available year-round while minimizing waste and loss.
