IMPROVING STORAGE LIFE OF CITRUS FRUITS BY TEMPERATURE MANAGEMENT.

Author(s) : MARTINEZ JAVEGA J. M.

Summary

THE AUTHORS CARRIED OUT TESTS ON STORAGE LIFE AT VARIABLE CONTROLLED TEMPERATURES OF CLEMENTINA FINA MANDARINS, NAVEL ORANGES AND REDBLUSH POMELOS. THE STORAGE OF MANDARINS AT 275 K (2 DEG C) WAS IMPROVED BY REHEATING TO 293 K (20 DEG C) (5 HRS/WEEK) AND BY 20 HR INITIAL MAINTAINING AT 293 K WITH 40% CO2. REHEATING TO 293 K (5 HRS/WEEK) AND A COOLING DELAY OF 2 DAYS AT 293 K DECREASED CHILLING INJURY IN ORANGES STORED AT 274 K (1 DEG C) WITHOUT AFFECTING WEIGHT LOSS, FIRMNESS, ACIDITY AND ETHANOL CONTENT. THE STORAGE OF POMELOS AT 275 OR 278 K (5 DEG C) WITH REHEATING TO 293 K (18 HRS/WEEK) PRODUCED LESSCHILLING INJURY THAN STORAGE AT 283 K (10 DEG C) ; FIRMNESS, COLOUR AND ACIDITY ARE BETTER PRESERVED AND THE VITAMIN C CONTENT IS NOT AFFECTED.
