Résumé

Large, medium and small kiwifruits were stored in either ethylene-free air or in a controlled atmosphere (CA) of 5% carbon dioxide (CO2) and 2% oxygen (O2) at 0 °C for 16 weeks. Under both storage conditions, large fruit had a slower rate of softening than smaller fruit. Air-stored kiwifruit softened approximately 2.6 times faster than CA-stored fruit. Under air conditions, kiwifruit reached all the minimum firmness required for packaging by 8 to 12 weeks, while those stored under CA conditions softened by 20 to 49 weeks. Understanding the relationship between fruit size and softening will help managers safely monitor kiwifruit softening.
