Summary

The effect of short-term high CO2 treatment on maintaining postharvest cherimoya (cv. Fino de Jete) fruit quality during low temperature storage was analysed. Pretreatment with an atmosphere of 20% CO2 + 20% O2 for 3 days retained fruit firmness and prevented an increase in the immunodetected levels of polygalacturonase-related protein during storage at 6 deg C. Short-term high CO2 treatment has a long residual effect at low temperature and improved storage life by preventing fruit softening and delaying senescence-like responses in green peel of cherimoya fruit tissues.
