Summary

AFTER 3 MONTHS AT 273 K (0 DEG C), GOLDEN DELICIOUS PRESSURE-INFILTRATED WITH CALCIUM CHLORIDE WERE 7-15% FIRMER AND HAD 20-35% LESS DECAY THAN THE CONTROL. IN 3% O2/2% CO2 OR IN 1% O2/0% CO2, NONINFILTRATED FRUIT WERE 26 AND 43% FIRMER AND HAD 51 AND 58% LESS DECAY THAN THE CONTROL. FRUIT TREATED WITH 4% CALCIUM CHLORIDE AND HELD AT 3% O2/2% CO2 ORAT 1% O2/0% CO2 WERE 43 AND 46% FIRMER AND HAD 71 AND 73% LESS DECAY THAN THE CONTROL. ALL TREATMENTS RESULTED IN DECREASED ETHYLENE PRODUCTION, BUT THE 4% CALCIUM CHLORIDE-TREATED FRUIT AT 273 K PLUS 7 DAYS AT 293 K(20 DEG C) IN THE 2 ATMOSPHERES HAD 30-50% LOWER ETHYLENE PRODUCTION RATES THAN THE 4% CALCIUM CHLORIDE-TREATED FRUIT IN NORMAL ATMOSPHERE.
