Interactions between controlled atmospheres and low temperature tolerance: A review of biochemical mechanisms

Controlled atmosphere treatments using carbon dioxide, oxygen and/or nitrogen, together with controlled temperature and humidity, form an important method for postharvest sterilization against insect-infested fruit. However, in insects, the cross tolerance and biochemical interactions between the va...
