Summary

Sweet pepper (Capsicum frutescens) fruits exposed to chilling stress (0-1 deg C) showed increased respiration rates and ethylene production. The relative conductivity of the pulp and membrane permeability increased with chilling duration. These metabolic changes occurred before visible signs of chilling injury became apparent. However, an alternating temperature treatment counteracted these changes. The alternating temperature treatment was effective in reducing chilling injury in cold-stored sweet peppers.
