Summary

Based on the analyses of ethylene production, fruit softening and reduction of extractable juice during ripening, fruit stored in the step-wise low oxygen storage for six, seven and eight months maintained a physiological state similar to the fruit stored in air for one to three months. The combination of prestorage heat (28 deg C for one day) and step-wise low oxygen storage effectively reduced side rot by 60 and 63% in 1993 and 1994, respectively.
