A linear regression of the percent acceptable
berries against time was derived for each treatment.
The postharvest life was calculated from the
regression equations as the time when 80% of the
berries remained acceptable for marketing. Data
presented in Tables 2–4 are the results of trials
carried out with three replicates each of 15 fruit
while data in Table 1 are with five replicates at
20°C and four replicates at 5°C. The results were
subjected to analysis of variance and calculation
of the least significant difference (L.S.D.) at the
P=0.05 level.
