COMPARABLE FRUIT INTERMITTENTLY WARMED (IW) FOR 2 DAYS IN AIR AT 291 TO 293 K DURING STORAGE AT 273 K IN CA (1% O2 + 5% CO2 ) AND THEN RIPENED GENERALLY HAD LITTLE BREAKDOWN AND RETAINED GOOD QUALITY FOR ABOUT 20 WEEKS.

FRUIT DIPPED IN BENOMYL AT EACH IW TREATMENT HAD NO LESS DECAY THAN THOSE DIPPED ONLY BEFORE STORAGE BUT THEY HAD A BETTER INTERNAL APPEARANCE AND WERE MORE ACID.
