Controlled Atmosphere

Controlled atmosphere (CA) and other shelf-life extension technologies are being explored to help maintain mango quality during long-distance transport. By adjusting levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and humidity, these technologies can slow down ripening, reduce chilling injury, and minimise quality loss.

CA shows promise in supporting market expansion by extending the viable shipping window and improving fruit condition on arrival.
