Effects of cooling and cooling regime on ethylene production and storage behaviour of kiwifruit.

Author(s) : RETAMALES J., COOPER T., MONTEALEGRE J.

Summary

Cooling delays have been adopted lately in Chile to reduce Botrytis rot in kiwifruit. Apart from that, rapid cooling to temperatures near 0°C is also aimed at preventing excessive fruit softening during storage. The objective of this study was to measure effects of different cooling strategies through 2 experiments, combining curing with or without subsequent rapid cooling prior to cold storage (0°C). Ethylene production was influenced by cooling regime. Forced-air cooling caused increased water loss.
