) or water (control) for 30 min then stored at room temperature. Ten fruit/replication and 8 replications/treatment were used for fruit de-
greening
(ripening) assessment. Pictures were taken on day 5 after treatment (A). At day 6 thirty representative fruit/treatment (n = 30) were sampled to measure pulp/peel
ratio
(B). The vertical bars indicate the standard error. Mean values that have different letter in (B) are significantly different at P 0.05
