The quality properties of peeled ginger (PG) were investigated during CA storage at different CO₂concentrations. O₂ concentration was kept constant at 5% while CO₂of 6%, 14%, 22% and 30% were used. It was found that the weight loss rate tended to decrease with an increase of CO₂. In the case of fixed 10 ℃ storage, the Lvalue and a-value of the exterior color in treatment increased more than that of control with respect to time, while the b-value of the exterior color and the cutting plane color showed no significant difference. In the exterior color, the results of PG-25 ℃ showed similar with PG-10 ℃ except b-value of the exterior color which showed not a little change. The cutting plane color did not showed significantly difference in the PG samples between 25 ℃ and 10 ℃ . Hardness of the PG during storage was found to decrease most severely at 6% of CO₂concentration regardless of storage temperature. The growth of microorganisms during storage of the PG tended to be restrained as CO₂concentration increased. However, microorganisms, when maintained at 25 ℃ storage, multiplied rapidly to 10^8 CFU/g within 4 days regardless of concentration.
