Summary

Within 30 minutes, fruit surface temperature has decreased from 20.4 to 3.1 deg C and fruit internal temperature had decreased from 21.2 to 3 deg C. Vacuum cooling has no deleterious effects on fruit mechanical properties. Vacuum cooling resulted in an average weight loss of 2.31%, but weight loss during subsequent cold storage was less in vacuum-cooled fruits than in control fruits.
