The longest shelf life (10 to 12 days) was at 10 °C (Mendoza et al. , 1972). Also, when ‘Malwana Special Selection’ fruit at color stages 4 (pericarp 75% yellow and 25% pinkish red), 5 (pericarp 75% yellow and 25% pinkish red) and 6 (pericarp 25% orange-red and 75% dark red) were stored long term (up to 21 days) at 5, 10 and 14 °C, CI was noted at 5 °C for all three color stages, whereas reduced skin browning was observed at 10 °C for color stages 5 and 6 (Wilson Wijeratnam et al. , 1995).
