abstract:
The paper describes mass losses and fruit firmness changes during the storage of picked fruits, both with stalks and without. The fruits were kept in ‘shelf-life’ conditions (2oC, 75% humidity) and in a coolhouse (2oC, 95% humidity). Quicker mass and firmness losses were observed during the storage of the fruits picked without stalks. Quick chilling permitted storage of picked fruits for 5 days with not too much quality changes. Fruits kept for 8 hours in ‘shelf-life’ conditions showed significant mass (10%) and firmness losses.
