Cold storage of 'Redblush' grapefruit under normal and controlled atmosphere and carbon dioxide treatments.

ABSTRACT :

 

Redblush grapefruits harvested in Oct. and treated with 1000 p.p.m. thiabendazole were stored for up to 10 weeks in air at 7, 10, 13 or 15 deg C and 90-95% RH, or in a controlled atmosphere (10% O2 + 0% CO2) at 13 deg and >90% RH, with and without ethylene removal. In addition, periodical CO2 treatments at 30% for 8 h twice a week during storage at 13 deg were applied. Total soluble solids content, pH, acidity, ascorbic acid, reducing and non-reducing sugars and maturity index were analysed, and weight loss and physiological disorders were determined. Best storage conditions were obtained under a controlled atmosphere with ethylene removal (1.3% of total losses) followed by controlled atmosphere without ethylene scrubbing (6.2% of total losses). Intermittent carbon dioxide treatments did not prevent red blotch disorder but prevented the development of oleocellosis.
