There are few reports where MRI was used to detect the early stages of CI in sensitive produce. In persimmon, MR images of cold-stored fruit were distinct from those stored at ambient temperature (Clark and Forbes, 1994). In zucchini squash (Wang and Wang, 1992), MRI provided enough data to act as a predictor of where water soaking would occur in the epidermis after the cold-storage. These studies both indicated that MRI has great potential for studying CI in fruit tissues.
