Summary

Both delayed storage (DS) of nectarine (Prunus persica cv. Flavortop) fruits held for 48 h at 20 °C before storage, and controlled atmosphere (CA) storage, fruits stored at 10% CO2, 3% O2, alleviated or prevented chilling injury manifested as woolliness in nectarine fruits stored for 4 or 6 weeks at O °C. Control fruits showed 80 and 100% woolliness during ripening after 4 or 6 weeks at °C, respectively. DS and CA were similar in their beneficial effect after 4 weeks and CA was better after 6 weeks storage. Prevention mechanisms are discussed.
