Long-term storage of "Sweetheart" cherries using different plastic films.

Author(s) : YOMMI A., HORVITZ S., GODOY C., et al.

Summary

LDPE film created the most adequate modified atmosphere to maintain fruit quality along the evaluation period, reducing water and taste loss. With film P, an important pedicel darkening and weight loss together with off-odours and off-flavours were detected as of the first week. In the PVC bags, about 50% of the fruit were affected by pedicel deterioration after only 7 days. Dehydration of the fruit could be reduced with the use of humidifiers inside the cold storage. Considering pedicel aspect as the quality limiting criteria and with a better sanitary program in the preharvest period, storage an be extended up to 6 weeks, using LDPE bags.
