Summary

Three cultivars of rambutan (Nephilium lappaceum L.) were cool-stored for 25 days at 0 to 20 deg C. Deterioration in skin colour was the primary limiting factor to shelf life at lower temperatures, whereas eating quality limited storage at higher temperatures. Under normal atmospheres, maximum shelf life for cvs. R162, Jit Lee and R156 was attained at 7.5 deg C (15 days), 10 deg C (13 days) and 10 deg C (11-12 days), respectively. Cv. R162 appeared more chill-tolerant than cvs. Jit Lee or R156.
