Summary

Mid-season peach cv. Majestic fruits at five maturity stages, from red suture to red, full soft, were subjected to warming treatments before and during storage at 5 °C. Intermittent warming and delayed storage accelerated softening in red suture, half and full red hard fruits. The treatment effect was greater with less mature fruits. Majestic peaches could be held at 5 °C for up to four weeks if harvested at the half red or full red hard stage and held at room temperature for 24 h before storage.
