Summary
Stone fruits ripen and senesce rapidly at ambient temperatures and require careful and rapid handling and storage at about 0 °C and 90-95% relative humidity to avoid weight loss and fungal attacks. However, after 2-3 weeks of cold storage of peaches, nectarines and plums, chilling injuries usually occur. The most important techniques used to alleviate chilling injury symptoms are: thermal pre-conditioning, intermittent warming during cold storage, controlled and modified atmosphere. Parameters involved in these different techniques are presented.
