Summary

THE EFFECT OF EXOGENOUS ETHYLENE AND THE EFFECT OF COLD TEMPERATURE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF ETHYLENE PRODUCTION, WERE STUDIED DURING 46 DAYS AT 272 K (-1 DEG C). PEARS WERE HELD IN 10 OR 50 PPM EXOGENOUS ETHYLENE AT 293 K (20 DEG C) AFTER 30 OR LESS DAYS AT 272 K. FIRMNESS OF FRUIT HELD IN ETHYLENE DECREASED OVER 12 DAYS AT 293 K. NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN FIRMNESS OCCURRED IN FRUIT HELD IN AIR AT 293 K. THE VOLUME OF EXTRACTABLE JUICE WAS UNCHANGED IN FRUIT HELD IN AIR, BUT DECLINED IN FRUIT HELD IN ETHYLENE. TASTE PANEL EVALUATION DETERMINED THAT FRUIT HELD 30 DAYS AT 272 K THEN HELD 10 DAYS IN ETHYLENE AT 293 K WERE RIPE, SWEET, AND JUICY, BUT FRUIT HELD IN AIR WERE COMPARABLE TO FRUIT NEVER HELD AT 293 K.
