Summary

Physico-chemical changes in kiwi fruits were studied during storage at room temperature (15-20 °C). Very little change in firmness occurred during first 30 days of storage but thereafter showed considerable reduction in fruit firmness through softening and shrinkage. Fruit pH declined significantly during the first 20 days. Thereafter, it increased sharply up to 40 days. Non-reducing sugars, total soluble solids and ascorbic acid were investigated.
