Storage atmospheres influence chilling injury and chilling injury-induced changes in cell wall polysaccharides of cucumber.

Type of article: Article

Summary

High CO2 and low O2 delayed the onset of chilling injury symptoms, but did not prevent symptom development. Chilling injury symptoms increased with longer exposure to chilling temperatures. Solubilization of cell wall polysaccharides was associated with development of chilling injury symptoms. Variations in low methoxyl pectinates accounted for 70% of the variation in chilling injury.
