Summary

ESTABLISHMENT OF A CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE (CA) OF 2% O2 + 5% CO2 WITHIN ONE DAY OF HARVEST OR AFTER A ONE-WEEK DELAY IN 273 K (0 DEG C) AIR RETARDED RAPID SOFTENING OF CA-STORED KIWIFRUIT DURING THE 1ST 6 WEEKS OF 273 K STORAGE, RELATIVE TO THOSE KEPT IN AIR OR IN CA ESTABLISHED AFTER A 2-WEEK DELAY. BETWEEN THE 6TH AND 24TH WEEK OF STORAGE, FURTHER SOFTENING IN AIR-STORED FRUIT WAS SUPPRESSED IN ALL CA TREATMENTS, AND THE 2-WEEK DELAY CA FRUIT ALWAYS WERE SIGNIFICANTLY SOFTER THAN THOSE PLACED IN CA WITHIN ONE DAY OF HARVEST. THE RATES OF FRUIT SOFTENING AT 273 K AIR AFTER 12, 16, OR 24 WEEKS OF CA STORAGE WERE COMPARABLE TO THOSE OF FRUIT STORED CONTINUOUSLY IN 273 K AIR.
