Résumé

Sea shipment of papaya (Carica papaya L.) cv. Eksotika was successfully conducted to Dubai using modified atmosphere (MA) technology in a 20-foot refrigerated container at 12 °C. Half of the consignment was packed in 6-kg boxes containing 8-9 fruits while the other half used 3.5-kg boxes containing 5-6 fruits. MA packaging was used to control quality deterioration during handling and transportation of the fruit. One or two sachets of ethylene absorbent (20 g) was placed inside the packaging to control ethylene. The journey to Dubai took 13 days. On arrival the overall quality of the fruit was still good. The flesh temperature was maintained at 12.5 °C. The fruit ripened normally within 3 days after induction with ethylene with even skin colour development, good flavour and taste.
