Summary

Chilling injury and carbohydrate content in the tropical fruit carambola cv. Yau and mamey were studied by maintaining the fruits at 10 and 2 °C (85-90% RH). Chilling injury index (CII) and sucrose, fructose and glucose content were measured over a thirty-day period. CII was studied, according to sucrose or fructose content, for different storage temperature conditions.
