[In Spanish. / En espagnol.]

Summary

Fruit oil content increased with increasing storage temperature and with increasing storage duration, as did the percentage of fruits with chilling injury. The oil of fruits stored at 5 deg C contained a higher proportion of saturated fatty acids than that of fruits stored at 2 deg C. The percentage of sound fruits after 4 weeks of storage (average of both storage temperatures) decreased from 73% for the first harvesting date to 25% for the last.
