Post-storage softening and physiological changes of 'Hayward' kiwifruit stored under low temperature and controlled atmosphere.

Postharvest softening and physiological changes of kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis [A. deliciosa]) cv. Hayward under air and controlled atmosphere (CA, 0 deg C) storage was investigated for 16 weeks and then fruits were stored on the shelf at ambient temperature (AT) for 7 days. Flesh firmness decreased during storage, but remained higher in CA storage. The decreasing rate of flesh firmness at AT, however, was faster in CA-stored than in air-stored fruits. No difference in flesh firmness was observed between treatments on the seventh day. Titratable acidity of fruit flesh was retained longer in the air-stored fruits throughout storage and at AT, but the soluble solids of air-stored fruits showed a high level only after 8 weeks of storage. Moreover, the soluble solid content increased at AT, irrespective of the previous storage condition, while the titratable acidity showed a marked decrease during the first few days, followed by a gradual increase. Respiration in fruits stored at AT increased during the first few days and subsequently decreased, with air-stored fruits having higher levels of respiration than CA-stored fruits. Ethylene production and ACC oxidase (1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate oxidoreductase) activity of CA-stored fruits increased at AT, while a small change occured in air-stored fruits.
