Résumé

Various tropical fruits were dipped in 4% calcium chloride for 1 hour, packed in polybags containing fused calcium chloride at 15 g/kg or fused calcium carbonate at 30 g/kg, or left untreated and held under ambient conditions. Exposure of the fruits to fused calcium chloride or fused calcium carbonate in closed polybags retarded ripening, peel colour development and textural softening; shelf life was extended to 10-12 days. In an organoleptic evaluation carried out by a taste panel, calcium chloride- or calcium carbonate-treated fruits received significantly higher quality ratings than untreated controls and calcium chloride-dipped fruits.
