Physiological changes in kiwifruit during a curing period and incidence of Botrytis cinerea during storage.

 

Stem-end rot caused by B. cinerea is the most important disease of stored kiwifruit in New Zealand. Stem scars of harvested fruit were inoculated with B. cinerea and held for a pre-cool storage curing period at 90-100% RH and temp. of 0, 10, 20 or 30 deg C. Curing periods were for 2, 4 or 6 d. Fruit samples were tested for ethylene production ( micro l/kg per h), rate of respiration (cm3 CO2/kg per h), weight loss (%) and firmness (kg/f) during curing. Percentage of infected fruit were evaluated after 12 weeks cool storage at 0 deg . Ethylene production, rate of respiration and weight loss increased with increased curing period at each temp. with the exception of fruit held for 4 d at 0 deg . Conversely, firmness decreased as the curing period was extended. The percentage of fruit infected was less at 10 deg than at 20 or 30 deg .
