Abstract : A simple system was developed for generating atmospheres of controlled RH applicable to the experimental storage of fruits or vegetables. It is based on the mixing of two air streams in adequate proportions, one consisting of dry air and the other of air saturated with water vapour. Stable air flows and RH were obtained in a 21-day storage experiment with mango fruits.
