Summary

Gas packaging in 5, 10 or 20% Freshpak (a gas mixture of CO2 and N2) controlled both browning and decay in fresh litchis, cultivars Mauritius and Madras, stored for 28 days at 1 deg C plus a further 3 days at 20 deg C. However, the skin turned brown once fruits were removed from the packaging after the 31-day storage period. Litchis that had been gamma-irradiated were found to be more susceptible to decay than untreated fruits.
