Summary

P. alata fruits were soaked for 4 minutes in water or solutions containing 20 mg/litre of 2,4-D, gibberellic acid (GA3) or benzyladenine, or 20 mg 2,4-D + 20 mg GA3 + 20 mg benzyladenine. Fruits were stored at 9 °C. After 28 days of storage, treatment with benzyladenine was best for maintaining the vitamin C and soluble levels.
