Summary

FRUIT WERE PLACED AT ROOM TEMPERATURES AFTER 3 WK AT 277 OR 285 K (4 OR 12 DEG C) UNDER VARIOUS HUMIDITY CONDITIONS. OBSERVED DIFFERENCES IN HARDNESS OF THE SKIN AND THE FLESH APPEARED RELATED TO FRUIT RIPENING. INDUCING CHILLING INJURY ON FRUIT INITIALLY STORED AT 277 K ACCELERATED SOFTENING AFTER FRUIT WERE TRANSFERRED AT 285 K. GRADUAL HUMIDIFICATION OF AMBIENT ATMOSPHERE REDUCED THIS PHENOMENON. SUSCEPTIBILITY TO FUNGAL ROTTING INCREASED WITH FRUIT SOFTENING. FUNGI PROLIFERATION SEEMED MORE RAPID ON CHILLING INJURED BATCHES. A CLEAR RELATIONSHIP WAS EVIDENCED BETWEEN WATER LOSSES AND FUNGAL DEVELOPMENT.
