    Solution

    Controlled-atmosphere  storage (CAS) is one of the most important innovations in fruit and vegetable storage systems as the composition of gas  in the storage affects their storage life. The CAS technology involves reduction of oxygen (O2) and increasing  carbon dioxide (CO2)  as compared to the ambient atmosphere.
