Lime fruit like other citrus fruits is very chill-sensitive and must be stored at 8-10 deg C to avoid chilling injury. The fungicides thiabendazole (TBZ) or imazalil (IMZ) were applied at 1000 and 3000 ppm a.i. at 25, 40 and 55 deg on lime fruits (Citrus aurantiifolia) to reduce chilling injury (CI), decay and electrolyte leakage during cold storage at 3 deg for 6 weeks. Fruits dipped in IMZ at 3000 ppm a.i. at 25 deg for 5 min and TBZ at 1000 ppm a.i. at 25 deg for 2 min showed the lowest chilling injury. There was a positive correlation between CI and water loss. Fruits that showed the lowest chilling injury also had the lowest weight loss during 6 weeks of storage at 3 deg .
