Abstract
|
|
|
|
Fruits of ´Hayward´ kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis Planch.) were stored for 180 days in room temperature, cold storage and controlled atmosphere (CA) storage. The flesh firmness sharply decreased at the early stage of storage and softened after 40, 130 days in room temperature and cold storage, respectively. Fruits stored in CA delayed softening and prolonged the shelf life over 180 days. The contents of acid and starch declined significantly at the early stage of storage, but the contents of free sugars and ascorbic acid significantly increased. The CO₂ production slightly decreased at initial time and reached a peak after 80 days in CA and cold storage. The contents of ethylene and internal ethylene produced only low levels at the early stage of storage and reached a peak after 80, 100 days in CA, 70, 100 days in cold storage. The concentration of CO₂ and ethylene were higher in room temperature than in CA storage. The pattern of ethylene production in its concentration was similar to that of the changes in CO₂ production during storage.
