Abstract:  Atmosphere composition differs with different ventilation in sealed chamber during storage of Chinese cabbage (Brassica Pekinensis R. ). Due to the density lighter than that of CO2, ethylene can be eliminated at lower ventilation rate (0. 8 L/h, 24 h/day) in storage environment while CO2 concentrated. This treatment results in the decrease of protein and chlorophyle content, the lowest peroxidase activity and the highest production rate . An appropriate ventilation rate can be determined hopefully for commercial Chinese cabbage storage so as to inhibite withering of outer leaves and growth from the prowin point.
