Postharvest heat treatment and fruit quality.

As consumers become increasingly cautious about chemical treatments applied to horticultural crops, and as a number of such chemicals are being withdrawn from use, there is renewed interest in physical treatments as alternatives to postharvest dips and sprays. Prestorage heat treatments (at 38-46 deg C for 12 h to 4 days) reversibly inhibit fruit ripening, alleviate storage disorders, and enhance resistance to pathogen infection in a variety of fruits and vegetables. The effects of these treatments on postharvest crop quality and physiology are discussed in this review.
