The effects of high CO2 concentration (10% CO2, 17% O-2) on the changes of functional cell wall components (pectic substances, hemicellulose, cellulose, lignin), mechanical properties, content of free soluble sugars (sucrose, glucose, fructose), and respiration activity were studied in harvested white asparagus spears stored at 10 and 20 degrees C, respectively, for up to 7d. Spears stored at 2, 10 and 20 degrees C in air were studied as controls, where the 2 degrees C condition indicated the effects of cold storage. During storage, respiration activity declined only slightly, irrespective of the CO2 and temperature regime. Spears stored at 20 degrees C under both CA and normal air became less stiff and more elastic, however, tissue toughness increased significantly. Changes in toughness were associated primarily with the dynamics of lignin and cellulose, revealing a strong correlation (r(2) = 0.81). High CO2 concentration inhibited the synthesis of cellulose and, to some extent, lignin accumulation at 20 degrees C. Additionally, elevated CO2 inhibited the degradation of soluble carbohydrates. In contrast, slightly lower temperatures of 10 degrees C in combination with high CO2 did not have a pronounced effect on changes in structural carbohydrates (lignin, cellulose, hemicellulose and pectins). The effect low temperature (2 degrees C) under normal atmosphere conditions resulted in the inhibition of cell wall changes in asparagus spears. (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
