Summary
The effects of a postharvest heat treatment on aspects of ripening and development of thermotolerance is discussed. Ethylene production, respiration, softening, colour change and taste components such as soluble solids, acidity and volatiles are dealt with. Heat treatment induction of thermotolerance, both to high and low temperatures, so as to prevent heat injury and chilling injury is discussed. Heat damage manifestations from unsuccessful treatments are described.
