Mature samples of nectarines and peaches were collected from
orchard and trays stored at 1 C (for fifteen days for sustainable
fruits, one day for organic fruits and nine days for conventional
fruits) in the French cooperative “Saveurs des Clos” (Ille sur Tet in the
south of France), during august 2011, in an aseptic way with gloves
and transported into sterile bags to Cirad laboratories in Montpellier
(France). Some fruits were harvested and others were sampled to the
cooperative on platters.
