Summary

STORAGE AT 2% O2 PLUS 5% CO2 AT 274.1 K (1.1 DEG C) MAINTAINED HIGHER FLESH FIRMNESS AND LOWER PH AND RETARDED DECAY MORE EFFECTIVELY THAN AIR STORAGE OF IMMATURE (M1) AND OVER-MATURE (M3) PATTERSON AND TILTON APRICOT FRUITS. CA STORAGE OF FRUITS PICKED AT THE OPTIMUM MATURITY STAGE (M2) PRODUCED LITTLE BENEFIT OVER AIR STORAGE. TREATMENT WITH 100 PPM ETHYLENE FOR 48 HOURS ACCELERATED SOFTENING AND COLOUR CHANGE AT 293 K (20 DEG C) COMPARED TO RIPENING IN AIR. LOADEL AND CAROLYN PEACHES, IF IN SOUND CONDITION AT HARVEST, CAN BE STORED FOR UP TO 4 WK UNDER 2% O2 + 5% CO2 AT 274.1 K. ANDROSS, KLAMT AND HALFORD PEACHES SHOULD BE STORED FOR SHORTER STORAGE PERIODS.
