Summary

INDIVIDUALLY PLASTIC-FILM-WRAPPED OR WAXED < MARSH > GRAPEFRUIT WERE CONDITIONED: 307.5 K (34.5 DEG C), 3 DAYS, AT LOW (30% RH) OR HIGH (95% RH) HUMIDITY BEFORE STORAGE AT 283 K (10 DEG C) MORE OR LESS 1 K, 90% RH MORE OR LESS 5%. PREDISPOSITION TO STORAGE DECAY BY CONDITIONING WAS INVESTIGATED BY EXAMINING FRUIT INOCULATED WITH PENICILLIUM SPORES. PENICILLIUM ROT IN FRUIT THAT WAS INOCULATED AFTER CONDITIONING WAS REDUCED IN PLASTIC-FILM-WRAPPED FRUIT (37%) RELATIVE TO WAXED FRUIT (74%) ONLY AFTER 2 WEEKS AT 283 K MORE OR LESS 1 K + 1 WEEK AT 294 K (21 DEG C) MORE OR LESS 1 K STORAGE. OF THE FRUIT INOCULATED PRIOR TO CONDITIONING, THE INCIDENCE OF DECAY WAS LOWER IN FRUIT CONDITIONED AT HIGH RH.
