Respiratory activity, ethylene emission and temperature quotient in cold stored grapefruit.

Author(s) : ARTÉS F., APARICIO J., ESCRICHE A. J., MARIN J. G.

Summary

Marsh-Seedless and "Redblush" grapefruits harvested in May and November respectively, and treated with 1 g/liter of thiabendazole, were stored up to 10 weeks in respiratory chambers at 7, 10, 13, and 20 deg C and 95% relative humidity. Carbon dioxide and ethylene emission increased with temperature and showed a non-climacteric pattern. Detailed results are given for each variety. Decay due to Alternaria citri induced high emission of carbon dioxide and ethylene.
