| Abstract:
Rambutan fruits cv. Rongrien were packed in sealed polyethylene (PE) bags with 0, 1, 2 and 3 ventilation holes and stored at 10°C and 12°C (90% RH). Fruits stored in the sealed PE bags with 1 ventilation hole at 12°C and contained 0.3–0.7 per cent CO2 and 16.1–19.5 per cent O2 had the longest storage life of 18 days and chilling injury development was delayed, while the control fruits (without PE bags) stored at 10°C and 12°C had the storage life of 5 and 8 days, respectively. | |
