Summary

The microflora of chestnuts during storage at 0 deg C, and the effect of postharvest treatments on storage rots, were investigated over 2 years. A storage trial over 172 days during the second year showed that controlled atmosphere storage combined with an initial 6% carbon monoxide atmosphere significantly reduced the incidence of rot from 15.3% in air-stored nuts to 6.1%. A dry heat treatment before storage damaged nuts, resulting in high rot levels.
