What is a gas ?
A gas is a sample of matter that conforms to the shape of a container in which it is held and acquires a uniform density inside the container ,even in the presence of gravity and regardless of the amount of substance in the container.

Carbon dioxideCarbon dioxide is an essential component of photosynthesis.
The present concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing at the rate of 1.47 ppm/year ( Source-ESRL Global Monitoring Division).

Sulfur DioxideIt act as a nutrient in plants(at a conc. less than 18.5ppb) since sulfur is a required element for plant growth and development.
The plants have developed mechanisms that allow them to control the internal levels of sulfur obtained from soil or atmosphere (natural and anthropogenic sources).

Current Scenario
In 2010, India surpassed the United States as the worlds second highest emitter of sulfur dioxide (after China).Klimont et al.,2012
SO2 emission in IndiaSource Zifeng lu, 2013
Effect on plantsWhen 45 days old plants of tomato were exposed to 0.1 ppm of sulfur dioxide gas it was found that it increase the vegetative growth in the plant at the expense of reproductive growth (Pandey et al.,1995).Its main damage caused by its product sulfuric acid.It result in dry papery blotches that are generally white, tan or straw coloured.In some spp. chronic injury, causes brown to red blotches.
Contd....
Young and middle aged plants and leaves are sensitive.
Sensitivity is highest during day with bright Sunlight and high relative humidity.

Effect of SO 2 on average growth and production of soybean in metal control plants, i.e., plants grown in potting mixtures with no added heavy metals
Nitrogen DioxideThe uptake of nitrogen dioxide by plants occurs predominantly by foliar deposition.NO2 emissions over the Indian region are growing at an annual rate of 5.5% per year (Garg et al., 2001).Annual average NO2 concentrations varied from 4.3 to 42.9 ppb in various parts of the country (CPCB, 2009).
Contd....
At higher concentration, NO2 can cause acute injuries on plant leaves, while chronic exposure to lower concentration of NO2 reduces the growth of plants.In Haridwar ,India when wheat and mustard crops, were exposed to higher concentration of NO2 at the rate of 9 ppb showed maximum reductions in growth, yield, ascorbic acid content and photosynthetic pigments(Chauhan and Joshi , 2010).

Detrimental affects of ethylene
Avoiding Exposure to Ethylene
Removal of ethylene from storage rooms by-Use of ozone at conc. of 0.4microl/l was used to oxidize ethylene (Skog et al., 2001).1. O2 + UV O32. C2H4 + [O] CO2 + H2O
Avoiding Exposure to Ethylene Removal of ethylene from storage rooms by- Adequate ventilation (air exchange) . Ethylene absorbers: potassium permanganate (alkaline KMnO4 on inert pellets Ethysorb, etc . Use of low pressure (vacuum) system (i.e.hypobaric CA storage).
EFFECT OF GASES ON POST-HARVEST MANAGEMENT OF VEGETABLE CROPS
Gases used in post harvest managementIt is an asphyxiant and slightly corrosive in the presence of moisture.
It dissolves readily (1.57 g/ kg at 100 kPa, 20 C) in water to produce carbonic acid that increases the acidity of the solution and reduces the pH. This has significant implications for MAP of foods.Oxygen promotes several types of deteriorative reactions in foods including fat oxidation, browning reactions and pigment oxidation. Most of the common spoilage bacteria and fungi require oxygen for growth. To increase shelf life of foods the pack atmosphere should contain a low concentration of residual oxygen.
Carbon dioxideOxygen
Contd....Nitrogen does not support the growth of aerobic microbes and therefore inhibits the growth due to aerobic spoilage but does not prevent the growth of anaerobic microbes. The low solubility of nitrogen in foods can be used to prevent pack collapse by including sufficient nitrogen in the gas mix to balance the volume decrease due to carbon dioxide going into solution.Nitrogen
Controlled Atmosphere (CA)Reduction of oxygen and/or elevation of carbon dioxide concentration inside the storage chamber is maintained.
Retard ripening, respiration and senescence.Prolong shelf life Beneficial effect Prolonged storage life of perishable by arresting the respiration and senescence process.
Reduction in sensitivity to ethylene. Decrease in the incidence and severity of disease causing organism.
Inhibition of senescence and of ethylene effects by CA in parsley
Modify the concentration of gases in the produce packing. Reduce respiration rate.Reduce ethylene action.Delay ripening & senescence.Increase products shelf life.

Environment
Types of MAPIn this commoditys respiration characteristics are properly matched to film permeability values. If a film of correct intermediary permeability is chosen, then a desirable equilibrium modified atmosphere is established when the rates of O 2 and CO2 transmission through the package equal a products respiration rate.Replacing the package atmosphere with a desired mixture of CO2,O2 and N2 or the use of ethylene, CO2,O2 and N2 scavengers.E.g. Oxygen Absorber- Ferrous oxide and Iron Powder.Carbon dioxide absorber- Hydrated lime, Activated charcoal, Magnesium dioxide. Ethylene absorber- Potassium permangnet, Vermiculite etc.

Effect of modified atmosphere packaging on quality changes of fresh Parsley, Spinach and Dill. In this vegetables were packaged in polyethylene pouches and were evaluated in three condition included perforated, modified atmosphere active, modified atmosphere passive at different temperature (5C, 10C, 20C, 25C).The following properties were determined vitamin C, chlorophyll, weight loss and total count. Results were indicated that storage of parsley in modified atmosphere active showed minimum loss weight and maximum chlorophyll retained. Parsley had the most moulds in perforated packages. However, maximum residual vitamin content was seen in MAP parsley.Masoud et al., 2011
