Analyse physiologique et économique de la préréfrigération des kiwis.

Physiological and economic analysis of precooling kiwifruit.

Auteurs : LALLU N., WEBB D. J.

Résumé

Precooling is a common practice during postharvest handling and storage of kiwifruit. Results from industry-based studies on the effect of precooling on fruit quality, indicate that precooled fruit are firmer than non precooled fruit but that the incidence of Botrytis stem end rots low-temperature breakdown and physiological pitting is higher in precooled fruit than non precooled fruit. It is concluded that it is preferable not to precool kiwifruit that is predisposed to stem end rots, low-temperature breakdown, and/or physiological pitting, and that it is more economic to construct a coolstore with cooling capability than to combine a precooler with a holding store.
