Percent weight loss, skin colour (L, a, b), flesh colour (L, a, b), fruit fleah firmness (kg force), total soluble solids (%), pH, titratable acidity (g malic acid 100 ml-1), physiological and fungal disorders were determined in the fruit samples taken during cold storage at a week interval and those kept at 20 °C at a two-day interval.Weight loss increased during storage and reached about 5% at the end of storage.Fruit flesh firmness decreased, but still remained above 4 kg-force at the end of 2-month storage.Total soluble solid (%) and pH increased while titratable acidity (%) decreased.As the storage period was extended the shelf life was observed to be shortened.
