Summary

Six cultivars were stored during three weeks at 7, 12 and 15 deg C plus three days at 20 deg C. The soluble solids content, firmness of the pulp tissue, carbon dioxide production, ethylene, weight loss, external appearance and symptoms of chilling injury were examined. Pitting and increased decay appeared first in susceptible fruit stored at 7 deg C and later for fruit stored at 12 and 15 deg C.
