Summary

Chilling to 4 deg C either on impact or during storage reduced increases in soluble solid content and deformation responses. It is concluded that careless handling and rough surfaces in packing materials should be avoided, but prompt cooling will delay the onset of deterioration resulting from mechanical damage.
