A review of postharvest events in cherimoya.

Cherimoyas are highly perishable climacteric fruits with high rates of respiration and ethylene production. Ripening is characterized by increased soluble solids, acidity and softening, and the acquisition of aroma and flavour. The mechanism by which this process is induced and controlled is not clear. The major consideration in postharvest handling is retardation of the quick ripening process. Temperature is an effective tool, but its usefulness is limited by the sensitivity of cherimoyas to chilling injury below 7-10 deg C, depending on the cultivar. Symptoms of chilling injury reported at various storage temperatures are tabulated. The role of ethylene is uncertain and the use of chemical ethylene absorbers requires further study. Modified atmosphere storage is a promising alternative, but research is still required on the basic physiology of this fruit.
