respectively. Fruit were allowed to dry for 30 min at room
temperature and placed into unsealed plastic bags (0.04 mm thick)
and each bag contained 5 individual fruit with 20 bags per group,
and then stored in four incubators (Sanyo MIR 553 Model, Gunma,
Japan) held at 11 ◦C (with 90–95% RH) for progressive assessments.
As storage at 11 ◦C showed the best quality of guava fruit pulp (data
unpublished), the temperature was chosen to be used in this study.
All assessments were conducted with three replicates.
