ABSTRACT :
The effects of wrapping single fruits in diphenyl- [biphenyl]-impregnated thin paper or normal paper, placing sheets of these papers between fruits in wooden boxes, and dipping fruits in 5% hypochlorite solution or 2000 p.p.m. imazalil and then wrapping them in normal paper were examined. The fruits were harvested in Dec., treated and then stored at 2.7-14.5 deg C and examined at 2-month intervals for weight loss, juice content, titratable acidity, TSS, decay and the percentage of green-buttoned fruits. Wrapping fruits in impregnated paper gave no consistent benefit over wrapping in normal paper. There was also little benefit in wrapping single fruits as opposed to separating fruits in boxes with paper. Decay (mainly due to Penicillium digitatum and P. italicum) problems were at a low level in all treatments but fruits treated with hypochlorite had the highest incidence of decay by Aug.
