REDUCTION OF CHILLING INJURY IN GRAPEFRUIT DURING COLD STORAGE BY TEMPERATURE MANAGEMENT.

Author(s) : SALCINES R. M., SLUTZKY B., MOREIRA T.

Summary

IF GRAPEFRUIT (CITRUS PARADISI MACF) HARVESTED EARLY IN THE SEASON AND IN MID-SEASON IS STORED WITH CONSECUTIVE TEMPERATURE STEPS OF 279 AND 287 K (6 AND 14 DEG C), CHILLING INJURY IS REDUCED. FOR GRAPEFRUIT HARVESTED EARLY IN THE SEASON, CONDITIONING AT 293 K (20 DEG C) OVER TWO WEEKS, FOLLOWED BY A GRADUAL DECREASE IN TEMPERATURE TO 279 K, ALSO GIVES SATISFACTORY RESULTS. THE FRUIT HARVESTED LATE IN THE SEASON WERE LESS SUSCEPTIBLE TO PITTING, BUT MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO ROTTING, MAINLY BY PENICILLIUM DIGITATUM SACC AND GEOTRICHUM CANDIDUM LK EX PERS.
