Summary

Immediate establishment of controlled-atmosphere conditions after harvest resulted in good quality fruits after 9 months of storage, but reduced quality was evident when controlled-atmosphere establishment was delayed by 5 days (the interim period being spent in refrigerated storage at 1 deg C). Longer delays did not result in greater quality loss.
