Abstract

Different fruit cultivars need special storage temperature for a suitable postharvest life without chilling injury.
Sufficient information about proper storage temperatures for Iranian persimmon (Karaj) is not available.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the best storage temperature for Karaj persimmon fruit.
The fruits were harvested at mature stage and maintained at different storage temperatures of 0, 2 and 5°C and >80% RH. Browning, intense gelation and softening are chilling injury symptoms in persimmon fruits.
These traits and other quality factors were determined during storage and data collected at monthly intervals for 4 months.
Results showed that fruits at 0°C had highest firmness and better color index, with no gelling or browning symptoms.
Also, fungal incidence at 0°C was less than that of fruit stored at 2 and 5°C. There were no significant differences in total soluble solids and titratable acidity of fruits stored at different temperatures.
Therefore considering the high fruit quality with low fungal incidence and without chilling injury symptoms, 0°C was the best cold storage temperature for Karaj persimmon fruit.
