Ethylene in cherimoya fruit (Annona cherimola Mill.) under different storage conditions.

Cherimoya fruits were harvested at the mature-green stage and stored at 20 or 10 deg C. Fruit ethylene concentration was analysed by GC and ripening was monitored by measuring (1) fruit softening (using a texturometer), (2) the increase in soluble solids content and (3) starch content changes (as glucose released from starch by digestion with amyloglucosidase). Ethylene production was dependent on storage temperature, having maximum values of 46.2 plus or minus 2.7 micro l ethylene kg-1 h-1 in fruits stored at 20 deg . Internal fruit ethylene concentrations peaked at the beginning of senescence at both temperatures. The effects of ethylene on the ripening of cherimoya fruits are discussed.
