Abstract: Rainier cherries collected in Yantai,Shandong were treated with controlled gases by using modified atmosphere packaging(MAP) technique and stored for 30 days,60 days,90 days,120 days to observe their decay rate,hardness,titratable acid content,soluble solids content and other indicators to determine the best proportion of gases for the modified atmosphere packaging of fresh Rainier cherries.The results show that the modified atmosphere packaging of Rainier cherries had the best storage effect when the O2 was 7% and the CO2 was 20% in the modified atmospheric gases.Under this condition the fresh Rainier cherries treated had the lowest fruit decay rate,and relatively lower change in titratable acid and soluble solids content as well asflesh hardness.
