Summary

THE EFFECTS OF C2 H4 CONCENTRATION, DURATION AND TIMING OF EXPOSURE TO C2 H4 , AND TEMPERATURE ON STORAGE PERFORMANCE OF KIWIFRUIT KEPT IN AIR OR IN A CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE OF 2% O2 + 5% CO2 WERE INVESTIGATED. 0.05, 0.1, 0. 5, 1.0 OR 5.0 MICROLITRE/LITRE C2 H4 IN CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE ACCELERATED SOFTENING AND INDUCED WHITE CORE INCLUSIONS. THE INCIDENCE AND SEVERITY OF WHITE CORE WERE MUCH GREATER IN FRUIT KEPT IN CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE + 0.5 MICROLITRE/LITRE C2 H4 AT 273 OR 275.5 K (0 OR 2.5 DEG C) THAN IN FRUIT STORED AT 278 OR 283 K (5 OR 10 DEG C).
