Summary

The ethylene peak occurred on day 18 for control fruits (no ethylene absorbent) and fruits with 5.0 g absorbent/kg and one week later for fruits with 3.5 and 7.0 g absorbent/kg. Softening of the fruits followed these increases in ethylene production and was accompanied by a continuous rise in CO2. Fruits stored with 3.5 g absorbent/kg showed significantly reduced respiration rates and ethylene synthesis; weight losses were reduced during the optimal storage period of 18 days.
