IMPACT OF POSTHARVEST HANDLING PROCEDURES ON STORAGE LIFE OF < LAMUYO > PEPPERS.

Author(s) : CUQUERELLA J., MARTINEZ JAVEGA J. M., NAVARRO P.

Summary

TESTS WERE CARRIED OUT ON THE STORAGE OF PEPPERS UNDER VARIOUS CONDITIONS. WATER WAXES DID NOT REDUCE WEIGHTLOSSES AT 293 K (20 DEG C). AT 279 K (6 DEG C), CHILLING INJURIES OCCURRED: AT 285 K (12 DEG C) THE COLOUR CHANGED MORE RAPIDLY THAN AT 282 K (9 DEG C). PRECOOLING IN AIR IS NOT EFFECTIVE AND THAT WITH WATER INCREASED ROTTING. IMMERSION IN A CHLORINE SOLUTION (300 PPM) INCREASED ROTTING. PRETREATMENT WITH 25% CO2 OVER 120 HRS PRODUCED POSITIVE EFFECTS ON COLOUR AND FIRMESS DURING 3 WEEKS, BUT LATER THE ROTTING INCREASED ON WOUNDED STEMS. INDIVIDUAL COATING WITH A POLYOLEFIN FILM PRESERVED FIRMNESS DURING 7 WEEKS AT 282 K, BUT FROM THE 4TH WEEK, ROTTING DEVELOPED CONSIDERABLY.
