Summary

Hot water dips significantly reduced the incidence of chilling injury in fruits stored at 1 deg C for 28 or 42 days. Scald damage (surface browning) occurred after 3 min at 53 deg C. Heat treatments had no significant effect on the incidence of disease at all durations of storage. The rate of fruit weight loss during 7 days at 20 deg C after storage for 14, 28 or 42 days at 1 deg C was significantly lower in heat-treated fruits than controls.
