CA storage of red currants gives the best storage results. The product is then stored at high CO2 values of 18-20% in combination with a reduced oxygen content of 2% and 2°C. These high CO2 values largely suppress the development of mold growth. Under these CA conditions, red currants can be stored for up to 6-8 months. CA storage of red currants is done in gas-tight CA pallet bags  as well as in (small) CA cells.
