Booncherm and Siriphanich (1991) reported that fresh-cut
durian could be kept longer than its intact form at low temperature,
contrary to common practice with other fruit and vegetable
produce. The pulp was found to be less susceptible to chilling
injury than the husk. This finding and the fact that durian has
a high husk to pulp ratio of 2:1, makes storage of durian pulp
instead of the whole fruit more promising.
