Effect of calcium infiltration on ripening of avocados of different maturities.

ABSTRACT :

 

Mature but unripe Fuerte and Hass avocado fruits harvested at 3 stages of maturity were vacuum-infiltrated with 4 and 8% CaCl2 solutions and stored at 20 deg C. The fruits were assessed for ripening and injury development and analysed for Ca content. Postharvest application of Ca to fruits harvested 2 weeks before prime harvest elicited a greater delay in ripening and caused less fruit injury than application at prime harvest or 2 weeks after prime harvest. Fruit maturity did not have a significant effect on the amount of Ca taken up by fruits when infiltrated with each CaCl2 solution. Vacuum infiltration with 8% CaCl2 solution greatly enhanced the uptake of Ca by both Hass and Fuerte fruits but did not delay ripening more than 4% CaCl2 treatment.
