Effect of temperature on ripening and post-harvest life of fruit of atemoya (Annona cherimola Mill. x A. squamosa L.) cv. 'African Pride'.

Fruits ripened most quickly and with good flavour at 28 deg C, while ripening was slower and the quality impaired at 32 deg . Fruits stored at 4 deg and high humidity developed symptoms of chilling injury (blackening of skin and browning of flesh) after >2 days, although even after 5 days at 4 deg fruits ripened at 20 deg with very good flavour. Fruits withstood 5 d at 8 deg without detectable deterioration in appearance or flavour, but the total postharvest life (TPHL) of 9 d was hardly better than that at 12 deg (8.5 days). At 12 deg , fruits deteriorated in appearance after >6 d, although the flavour remained very good up to 10 d. The maximum TPHL achieved without significant damage to fruit was 9.4 d with 6 d at 12 deg followed by ripening at 20 deg , or 9.1 d with 5 d at 8 deg . This compares with a ripening time of 4.8 d at 20 deg .
