Relationship of physical properties to postharvest water loss in pepper fruits (Capsicum annuum L.).

ABSTRACT

Varieties representing the 3 types Keystone (bell type), NuMex R Naky (long green type) and Santa Fe Grande (yellow wax type) differed significantly in their initial water content, fruit surface area, fruit surface area to volume ratio, cuticle weight and epicuticular wax content. The rates of postharvest water loss at 8, 14 and 20 deg C differed significantly between the 3 varietal types. Postharvest water loss was not related to initial water content at any storage temperature or to cuticle weight at 8 deg C. The large-sized Keystone fruits, with a small surface area to volume ratio and high epicuticular wax content, lost weight at a significantly lower rate than the rest.
