Dipping SO2-treated litchis in weak (4%) HCl solutions affected the taste slightly, but the fruits were generally regarded as acceptable, except with treatments of 10 and 15 min, when an unacceptable taste was noted. No browning or decay occurred in any of the HCl treatments, except with treatment for 10 or 15 min, when some phytotoxicity occurred. All HCl treatments tested resulted in development of red colour in the fruits. A 2-min dip was regarded as sufficient to obtain good colouring.
