Summary

A matrix of 80 hot water treatment temperatures/durations and controlled atmosphere storage regimes were tested for effects on respiratory activity, ethanol, and acetaldehyde accumulation, and storage quality of "Fuyu" persimmon. Fruits were hot water treated, and at 20 deg C in air. After treatment, the fruits were stored in different atmosphere (control) compositions and temperatures. Fruit quality was assessed after a 5 day shelf-life at 20 deg C. Respiration (CO2 production) was measured on fruit held at 20 deg C following hot water treatment. After storage, ethylene, carbon dioxide, ethanol and acetaldehyde accumulation production were measured on selected treatments at 0, 1, 3, and 5 days at 20 deg C. Results are given, in terms of quality of product and chilling injury sensibility.
