Notes: The objectives of this study were to: (1) assess the insecticidal efficacy of EF + CO₂ fumigation against the most tolerant life stages of P. jackbeardsleyi; (2) measure EF and CO₂ headspace dynamics, including sorption and residues, under simulated container loading; and (3) monitor changes in major fruit-quality parameters during cold storage and shelf-life. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.postharvbio.2025.113963
