Ripening of foodstuffs comprises storing the foodstuffs in a sealed treatment room at controlled room temp. and gas humidity until the desired degree of ripeness is reached. The treatment room is maintained essentially airtight. A gas or gas mixt., which has a higher inert gas content than air, is fed to the treatment room, and excess gas is opt. removed from the treatment room. By control of the feed of gas/gas mixt. and the opt. removal of the excess gas, as residual oxygen content in the treatment room which is suitable for the ripening process can be set. |
