Summary

In a 12-week trial, the effects of chilling injury in oranges at different cold-storage temperature cycles: 18 days at 6 deg C + 7 days at 14 deg C; 18 days at 2 deg C + 7 days at 14 deg C; 6 days at 6 deg C + 1 day at 14 deg C; 6 days at 2 deg C + 1 day at 14 deg C were compared with those at a constant storage temperature of 6 deg C. Under the temperature cycles, chilling injury, respiratory rate and ethyl acetate content in the juice were all significantly less marked than in the fruits stored at constant temperature. The main chemical and morphological parameters generally proved to be little affected by the temperatures tested, but were markedly affected by storage duration and shelf life.
