Résumé

Internal browning disorder of pineapples is a common problem encountered by exporters as a result of cold storage during shipment. A study was carried out on the effect of calcium as a preharvest treatment on internal browning development and peroxidase activity in pineapple cv. Mauritius. Fruits harvested from plants treated with lower level (75 kg/ha) of calcium and stored for 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks at 15 °C followed by three days at room temperature had significantly lower internal browning intensity than the controls. With higher level of calcium (150 kg/ha) there was no internal browning up to the fourth week.
