Effect of different temperature regimes on fungal decay of inoculated July Elberta peaches.

Sound July Elberta peaches of uniform size were inoculated with the test fungi in lots using the Lancet method and stored according to the following temperature regimes: A: 4 days at 5 deg C + 6 days at 25 deg ; B: 1 day at 5 deg + 5 days at 20 deg + 4 days at 30 deg ; C: 6 days at 25 deg C + 4 days at 30 deg ; D: 5 days at 25 deg C + 5 days at 30 deg ; E: 10 days at 20 deg ; F: 10 days at 30 deg . The rot development was recorded regularly up to 10 days. Rhizopus stolonifer was the fastest spreading and most conspicuous fungus, followed by Monilinia laxa, Aspergillus niger and Penicillium expansum. The results indicated that the transit and marketing of peaches at 25 to 30 deg would result in maximum rotting, but the deterioration of fruit could be prevented by holding them for 4 days at 4-5 deg and these fruits could then be despatched at a transit temperature of 25 deg and marketed within the lag period of 6 days.
