Summary

Incipient stages of chilling-injury development were unable to be identified either by visual inspection of time-course images, or variation in relaxation properties. The authors' observations do indicate, however, that relaxation properties in fruit were strongly influenced by modified-atmosphere conditions. Increased concentrations of soluble metabolites arising from reduced respiration in modified-atmosphere treated fruit is a possible mechanism consistent with these results, but not removal of a paramagnetic species like oxygen, where spin-lattice relaxation times values would be predicted to increase.
