Work on the effect of controlled atmospheres (CA) on different insect pests of perishable commodities was recently reviewed by Carpenter and Potter (1994). 

Literature is scarce on the effects of controlled atmosphere (CA) and modified atmosphere (MA) storage on carotenoid content and colonr retention in yellow and red vegetables. Sozzi et al. (1999), reported a lower content in total carotenoids and lycopene in tomatoes, which had been stored in 3% O2 or 20% CO2 than after storage in air (control). No differences were fonnd after storage in low O2 and high CO2. When the samples were transferred to air, the total carotenoid and lycopene contents were lower in the tomatoes, which were subjected to different storage treatments from those stored in air all the time.
