ABSTRACT :
Firm, red, ripe E. malaccensis fruits were stored at 5, 10, 15 or 28 deg C and 95% RH. At 28 deg (ambient temperature) fruits had a shelf life of 4-6 days. Fruits stored at 10 or 15 deg were shrivelled and showed decay and skin colour loss after 10-15 days, but fruits stored at 5 deg had acceptable colour, firmness, taste and aroma, even after 20 days (although there were some signs of shrivelling). Waxing reduced shrivelling at 5 deg , but not as effectively as packing in polyethylene bags, which also preserved fruit colour and firmness.
