Summary

AFTER DIGITALIZING THE IMAGE, OBTAINED UNDER CONTROLLED LIGHTING CONDITIONS, ALGORITHMS WERE DEVELOPED FOR THE DETERMINATION OF THE DIFFERENT PARTS: EXTERNAL PERICARP, INTERNAL PERICARP AND CORE. THREE LOTS OF 30 UNITS STORED 24 WEEKS UNDER DIFFERENT CONDITIONS: IN AIR, IN AN ATMOSPHERE WITH 2% O2 AND 5% CO2 OR SUBJECTED TO REPEATED CO2 SHOCKS DURING 6 WEEKS, FOLLOWED BY REMOVAL TO AIR DURING 18 WEEKS, WERE COMPARED. THE CORES OF THE FRUIT STORED IN MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE ARE MARKEDLY LARGER AND LIGHTER THAN THOSE OF FRUIT STORED IN AIR. THE VALUES ARE INTERMEDIARY FOR THE FRUIT SUBJECTED TO REPEATED CO2 SHOCKS.
