Effect of modified atmosphere on chilling injury and storage life of rambutan.

Author(s) : KETSA S., KLAEWKASETKORN O.

Summary

Rambutan fruits (cv. Rongirien) were sealed in polyethylene bags and stored at 10 or 12 deg C. Chilling injury occurred at both temperatures but developed more rapidly at 10 deg C. Fruits in sealed bags with no ventilation had least chilling injury but developed an off-flavour early during storage. Fruits stored at 12 deg C in bags with one ventilation pore had the longest storage life (18 days). Unpacked fruits stored at 10 and 12 deg C had a storage life of 5 and 8 days, respectively.
