Cultivar, packaging, and storage temperature differences in postharvest shelf life of okra.

Pods of 5 okra cultivars (Annie Oakley, Blondy, Burgundy, Clemson Spineless and Emerald Green) were stored for 8 days in 12.7- micro m-thick high density polyethylene (HDPE) bags or plastic dome-lid boxes, at 3 deg or 12.5 deg C and 80% RH. Pods stored in HDPE bags developed less chilling injury at 3 deg than pods stored in plastic boxes. No decay developed in pods stored at 3 deg . At a storage temperature of 12.5 deg , pods stored in HDPE bags developed more decay [unspecified] and had a poorer overall appearance after 8 days' storage than pods stored in plastic boxes. Emerald Green pods lost more weight during storage than the other cultivars regardless of storage temperature or duration, while Blondy pods developed the most decay. Annie Oakley and Clemson Spineless had a better shelf life than the other cultivars.
