Fruit exposed to the longer storage intervals showed a significant decrease in ripening time after storage under market conditions up to 4 days. This is also true for those stored at 13° C as compared to those stored at 10.6° C, with a 2.64-day period difference. The higher storage temperature caused some increase in anthracnose and stem-end rot. The longer the storage interval, or the ripening time after storage under market conditions, the greater was the final weight loss.</p> ER -
