Chilling Injury of Eggplant Fruits

Abstract

Excerpt from the report: Eggplant fruits are subject to chilling injury if held at low, but nonfreezing temperatures for about a week or longer. The problem as observed in the commercial handling of the fruits is confined to eggplants overrefrigerated during a 6- to 8-day transit period or held at 40° F. for several days after arriving at the terminal market. Chilling injury has been observed also on eggplant fruits shipped in mixed loads of produce under top ice. These tests were conducted to determine the effect of low, but nonfreezing temperatures on chilling injury, to identify and describe the symptoms, and to study the relationship of chilling injury to alternaria rot.
