The effect of humidity on ripening of durians.

ABSTRACT :

 

Durian (cv. Chanee) fruits harvested 113 days after full bloom were ripened at 30 deg C and around 75, 83 and 93% RH over 5 days. Average daily weight loss was significantly higher in fruits held at 75% RH than in fruits held at 83 or 93% RH (3.8, 2.7 and 2.6%/day, respectively). Low humidity caused an increase in internal ethylene concentration and increased the ease of dehusking but did not hasten ripening. Water stress had no significant effect on starch content, soluble solids, total sugars, firmness and colour development of the pulp of ripened fruits. The results are discussed in relation to the advantages and disadvantages of ripening durians under low and high humidities.
