Postharvest physiology of cagaita fruits.

Fruits of cagaita (Eugenia dysenterica) selected for uniformity of colour and size in grounds adjoining the campus at Brasilia University were stored either individually or in groups in glass jars at 4 deg , 15 deg or 28 deg C for 13 days. At 28 deg , the highest rates of CO2 and ethylene evolution were recorded after 3 days. Fruit FW decreased more rapidly, ripening was faster and deterioration was more widespread at 28 deg than at lower temperatures. At 4 deg , evolution of CO2 and ethylene was low and symptoms of chilling injury (including browning and necrosis) were evident after 3 days. It was concluded that fruits of E. dysenterica should be stored at approximately 15 deg since they continued to ripen at this temperature but remained firm until the end of the trial period.
