A new rating scale for ethylene action on postharvest fruit and vegetables.

Author(s) : WILLS R. B. H., WARTON M. A.

Summary

Ethylene is physiologically active on many postharvest fruit and vegetables at levels above 0.005 microL/L, concentrations which are invariably present in marketing and storage situations. The concept of maximum potential postharvest life at 0.005 microL/L is utilized to generate a new rating scale for what constitutes low and high levels of ethylene based on 10 and 30% loss of potential postharvest life as being acceptable and unacceptable, respectively.
