Pre-freezing, storage and industrial use of apricot with relationship to quality.

A wide ranging review of the effects of time of harvest and postharvest factors on quality is presented. The quality of apricots is closely correlated with the stage of maturity at picking, and efficient precooling slows ripening and softening. A good cold chain, combined with plastic film packaging which ensures a high humidity, maintains quality and extends shelf-life. Disease problems such as brown rot (Monilinia fructigena), Rhizopus and grey mould (Botrytis cinerea), and the physiological disorders of overripening and breakdown are described, and the storage conditions (time, temperature, RH, modified atmosphere) used to prevent them occurring are discussed. Traditionally, apricots have been dried, canned or processed for preserves. More recent techniques which increase the range of processed products are reviewed; they include dehydroosmosis, quick-freezing, dehydration, and fermentation and distillation.
