Optimum Relative Humidity: 90-95%
Benefits of CA: Low O2 reduces respiration and maintains sugars Elevated CO2 maintains green color and retards development of soft rot.
Benefits of Ethylene Removal: Peas produce little ethylene. However, ambient ethylene can cause loss of green color so sources of ethylene should be excluded.
Special Treatments Before Shipping: Peas should be cooled as soon as possible after harvest to retain color and turgor.
Varietal Differences: No varietal differences in optimum postharvest handling have been documented.
Mixed Loads: Ethylene producing commodities should be avoided.
Cautions: Peas lose their sugars if not cooled rapidly and held near 0°C.
