Abstract
Abstract Establishment of a controlled atmosphere (CA) of 2% O 2 + 5% CO 2 within one day of harvest (no delay) or after a one-week delay in 0°C air retarded rapid softening of CA-stored kiwifruit ( Actinidia chinensis Planch. ‘Hayward’) during the 1st 6 weeks of 0° storage, relative to those kept in air or in CA established after a 2-week delay. Between the 6th and 24th week of storage, further softening in air-stored fruit was suppressed in all CA treatments, and the 2-week delay CA fruit always were significantly softer than those placed in CA within one day of harvest. The one-week delay treatment resulted in an intermediate flesh firmness. The rates of fruit softening at 0°-air after 12, 16, or 24 weeks of CA storage were comparable to those of fruit stored continuously in 0° air.
