Résumé

Surinam cherry is a tropical fruit of high perishability, a factor which causes storage and marketing problems and affects the quality of the fruit "in natura". The purpose of this research was to verify the influence of temperature on the storage of Surinam cherries. Green, half-mature and mature fruits were stored under refrigeration and freezing temperatures (-18 °C) for several periods. A decrease in weight was observed for all fruits, regardless of maturation stage and treatment. Refrigeration preserved the innate external appearance of half-mature and mature fruits up to 10 days of storage, and of green Surinam cherries for 20 days. pH, soluble solids, total acidity and total vitamin C were altered by the treatments, with the exception of vitamin C content in the frozen fruits.
