Presentations at the 12th International CAMA conference on SafePod technology for dynamic controlled atmosphere storage of apples

Two presentations were given at the 12th International Conference for Controlled and Modified Atmosphere Research in Poland describing work carried out on the development of the SafePod technology. This research is being carried out by a consortium including researchers and commercial companies in the UK. The objective is to improve long-term storage of apples in low oxygen atmospheres by monitoring fruit respiratory characteristics; specifically the respiratory quotient (RQ = rate of CO2 evolution/rate of O2 consumption.)
Presentation 1
LabPod: A high precision system for controlling storage atmospheres and measuring respiration.
David Bishop, Dr Deborah Rees, Dr Richard Colgan, Andrew Duff, Karen Thurston
Presentation 2
Variability of the respiratory response of apples to low oxygen storage
Colgan, R.J., Rees, D., Thurston, K., Bishop, D. and Duff, A.
