Author(s) : AGAR T., KASKA N., KIBRITOGLU A.

Summary

Fruits were harvested and brought to the packinghouses in Mersin at an external temperature of 23.6 deg C and a core temperature of 22.1 deg C. Cherries were placed in a hydrocooling unit and cooled with cold water at 2 deg C containing a mixture of Benlate and hypochlorite. Fruits were then selected and placed in two rooms at 15 or 0 deg C. Control fruits were not hydrocooled but selected at 15 deg C and stored at 0 deg C. To imitate transport conditions, cherries were stored for 1 week or 2 weeks at 0 deg C, respectively. Cherries were analysed either immediately or after 2 days of additional shelf life at 20 deg C for weight loss, titratable acidity and TSS. Fruit flesh firmness and elasticity were measured. Results are given.
