Summary

Several intermittent warming treatments at 13 deg C were applied to lemons (cv. Primofiori) stored at 2 or 8 deg C. The greatest reductions in decay (caused by Altermaria citri) and physiological disorders were obtained with 2 cycles of 2 weeks at 2 and 2 weeks at 13 deg C, with relative humidity higher than 95%. Under these conditions, there were no chemical changes except the concentration of ascorbic acid and that of non-reducing sugars. CO2 treatments did not prevent the development of A. citri rot and red blotch disorder, but effectively prevented the development of membranosis, rind pitting and oleocellosis.
