Summary

The effect of postharvest calcium-chloride (2, 4 and 6%) infiltration at low pressure on physiological changes in kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis, A. deliciosa) stored at low temperature was investigated during harvest and after 2 and 4 months of storage. Untreated fruits served as controls. Calcium treatment inhibited the decrease in flesh firmness. The action of calcium, accumulated in flesh and peel, the rates of soluble or insoluble pectin, and the activity of polygalacturonase and pectinesterase are investigated.
