Effect of conditioning treatment at high and medium temperatures on the quality of "Nova" mandarins following quarantine cold treatment.

Author(s) : MAZZUZ C. F., MARTÍNEZ JÁVEGA J. M.

Summary

Nova mandarins harvested in Valencia were conditioned either at high temperature (4 days at 35 °C, curing) or medium temperature (6 days at 17 °C, preconditioning) then held under simulated cold quarantine in the USA (15 days at 1-2 °C) plus 7 days at 20 °C to simulate the retail stage. Fruit quality was evaluated at the end of the cold period and after 7 days at 20 °C. The incidence of chilling injury was not significant in any treatment. Fruit colour was not affected by cold quarantine or by retail stage. The influence of these treatments on chemical composition of fruits is discussed.
