Papaya fruits were loaded in specially-built bins and treated with heated air to meet quarantine regulations. Two different bin configurations were tested for temp. distribution in the fruit mass. Fruit quality and moisture loss were evaluated. A fruit column of less than 0.6 m produced an acceptable thermal gradient in the fruit mass. Heat treatment was not deleterious to fruit quality.
