The extent to which weight losses affect the rate of browning of fruit stored at 10 ◦ C depends on the pH of the pericarp after treatment, and will be all the more lower since the pH is low (Fig. 4). When pericarp pH was 3.3 and 3.5, obtained after acid treatments at pH 0.8 and 1.0, respectively, the level of acidification reached were sufficient to limit enzymatic degradation of anthocyanins despite weight loss.
