Preventing cold storage disorders in nectarines.

Author(s) : STREIF J., RETAMALES J., COOPER T.

Summary

Warming fruits at 20 deg C for 48 hours prior to controlled-atmosphere storage at 0 deg C for 4 weeks prevented woolliness in the absence of high CO2 but did not affect browning. This treatment enhanced ripening, increased weight loss and caused softening. Exposure to high CO2 levels, especially in combination with low O2, significantly delayed ripening, retained fruit firmness and prevented both storage disorders. There was no deleterious effect on flavour with storage at high CO2 levels.
