Fruit firmness decreased in all treatments during
storage plus shelf-life (Table 1). The highest flesh firmness was observed in fruit stored at 5 ºC, which was
statistically similar to the flesh firmness of fruit stored at7 ºC. There was no change in total soluble solids content
during storage plus shelf-life (Table 1). Titratable acidity
decreased in all treatments after storage plus shelf-life
(Table 1). The highest acidity values after storage and
shelf-life were in fruit stored at 5 ºC and the lowest in
fruit stored at 10 ºC. The use of perforated plastic bags
had no effect on fruit firmness, total soluble solids, or
titratable acidity (Table 1). The decrease in fruit firmness
and titratable acidity was delayed by storage at 5 ºC,
compared with higher storage temperatures.
