Request a sales quoteControlled and Modified Atmospheres for Fresh and Fresh-Cut Produce is the ultimate reference book of CA/MA recommendations for selected commodities. It includes the basic knowledge of physiology and technologies to the current application of recommended CA/MAP conditions for fresh and fresh-cut fruits and vegetables. For each commodity, a summary with requirements and recommendations is presented. The book is divided into three parts, with each focusing on different aspects of CA/MA, including fundamental topics on the physiological and quality effects of CA and MAP for fresh and fresh-cut fruits and vegetables, optimal CA/MAP conditions and recommendations, and optimal conditions for fresh-cut fruits and vegetables.
- Provides guidelines and recommendations of CA/MAP for the fresh produce industry
- Illustrates the benefits and defects caused by CA/MA in full color
- Brings more than 54 fruits and vegetables and their respective summary with the requirements and recommendations of CA/MA conditions
- Includes the optimal CA/MAP conditions and recommendations for selected fresh fruits and vegetables
People involved in the production, handling, packing, processing, storage, transport, wholesaling and retailing of fresh and fresh-cut produce; quality managers and technicians, machine engineers, packaging designers, researchers and students

Randolph M. Beaudry
His research program is focused on assessing the quality of harvested plant products and the development of technological interventions to improve quality maintenance. Much of the work is focused on developing protocols for storage using modified atmospheres via controlled atmosphere rooms or in polymeric packages. Packaging studies include mathematical model development for predicting the performance of packaged produce.
