Interactions between postharvest low temperature disorders in kiwifruit. Kiwifruit experience two significant postharvest low temperature disorders: low temperature breakdown (LTB), in which the flesh appears grainy, darkened and/or water soaked with symptoms developing first in the outer pericarp near he stylar end of fruit; and physiological pitting (PP) in which small discrete depressions (2-3 mm in diameter) appear in the skin of fruit.

It has been our experience when assessing disordered fruit after cold storage that two distinct populations can be identified, o­ne population of fruit with LTB and the other with PP.In this paper we propose a model to explain possible interactions between these two disorders.
