| Abstract:
The storage performance of kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa A.Chev.) cv Allison, Bruno, Hayward and Monty was evaluated during cool storage at 0°C in a free from ethylene atmosphere, during a two year study (1989 and 1990). Respiration rates, production of ethylene, shelf life, composition and quality attributes were measured during storage at 3–5 week intervals. Cv. Hayward showed the lowest respiration rate and production of ethylene and Allison and Bruno the highest. Changes in soluble solids and flesh firmness were the most remarkable among the characteristics measured. Best results in these characteristics were again obtained with cv Hayward followed by Monty. | |
