Advances in controlled atmosphere technology and its industrial applications. A review

Abstract:

This document seeks to describe the history of the technology of controlled atmospheres, its technological advances and applications, providing research perspectives in different fields of study. For this purpose, a review of information has been developed, about the different fields where this technology has been applied and its efficiency as an alternative method. The studies related to this field generated until today are associated with the effect that the technology produces on the organoleptic and functional characteristics of certain fruits (aroma, quality, antirust potential, polyphenols) as well as the automation of the technology (adjustments, computerized monitoring), and their applications in the field of electronics. In most cases the technology has shown higher efficiency than the traditional methods. It is possible to conclude that due to the wide alternatives of applications of the technology, additional studies can be generated to complement its future development.
