Storage in this way using a container \/ container composition of the air (nitrogen gas, carbon dioxide, and oxygen) are arranged so that can increase the shelf life of agricultural commodities.<\/span> The way it works is gas unused \/ exaggeration in the container is reduced.<\/span> Containers can be filled with gas N2, O2, and CO2 as needed.<\/span> Replacement of gas causes the gas composition in the container be below 8% O2, CO2 more than 2%, and 90% N2.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is in contrast to the free air composition comprising 78.03% N2, O2 20.99%, and 0.09% CO2.<\/span> The air humidity is maintained around 85% so that the metabolic activity of the vegetables will be reduced and the damage can be inhibited.<\/span> Santoso (2006) revealed that agricultural produce after harvest still continues to carry out respiration and metabolism, so it is considered still alive.<\/span> During the process of respiration takes oxygen contained in the surrounding environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Results metabolic process of respiration in the form of CO2 and water as well as ethylene.<\/span> The content of oxygen, carbon dioxide and ethylene, each influencing the metabolism of commodities.<\/span> Based on the theory it is known that the composition of the air in the storage room has a great influence on the properties of the fresh ingredients are stored.<\/span> The air composition normally consists of O2 (20%), CO2 (of 0.03%), N2 (78.8%).<\/span> By modifying atmosphere around commodities can generate some gains against the commodity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Modification of the air composition is done by reducing or increasing the oxygen and carbon dioxide (CO2).<\/span> Sometimes they are also necessary to prevent the ethylene gas produced does not accumulate in the air space.<\/span> In general, the air is depleting oxygen content and increasing carbon dioxide will lead to reduction in the rate of respiratory activity of the fresh commodity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ethylene is a plant hormone, which with very small doses can be a big influence on the stages of metabolism, including the initial process of maturation, wilting and maturity as well as the process of formation of phenolic compounds.<\/span> Ethylene gas accumulated in the storage space will result carrots a bitter taste due to the accumulation of substances as phenol, so too can cause asparagus to be hard, since ethylene stimulates the process of making lignin.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ethylene (C2H4) can lead to a hardening of sweet potato or decay inside.<\/span> Modification of the composition of air, also known as an example of the storage atmosphere serves to determine or set the system noymonal by ethylenene.<\/span> Sinthesis ethylene sufficient to stimulate the maturation process will not occur when oxygen levels below 7% (Mapson and Robinson, 1966).<\/span> Commodity sensitivity to ethylene also be lower at low oxygen concentrations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before ethylene can affect something commodities should be bound oxygen molecules or react to the part where ethylene is attached.<\/span> When the high oxygen content of 3%, the bound ethylene fell as much as 50% (Burg and Burg 1967).<\/span> Carbon dioxide (CO2) does not directly affect sinthesis ethylene, but rather antogonistis to ethylene.<\/span> CO2 is structurally analogous to the ethylene thus competing against places that should be occupied by ethylene.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
