Abstract: Pitaya (Hylocereus undatus) is an exotic non-climacteric fruit that reaches its best eating quality when harvested ripe, decreasing thereafter during storage. Our objectives were to determine the best combination of storage temperature and use of perforated plastic bags to maintain the postharvest quality of the fruit. Fruits were stored at 5, 7, or 10 ºC with and without a perforated plastic bag for 20 days, followed by five days at 20 ºC without the bag for shelf-life determination. Storage at 5 ºC, followed… Show more

“…Pitaya fruit easily loses its commodity value under conditions of high temperature. Many studies have been conducted to explore optimal storage condition and time to keep pitaya fruit quality (Freitas and Mitcham, 2013;Hoa et al, 2006;Obenland et al, 2016;Punitha et al, 2010). However, pitaya cultivars with different genetic backgrounds have different storage life under the given conditions.…”

“…The shelf life of fresh H. undatus is short. As a newly cultivated crop, few studies have aimed to extend the postharvest quality of this fruit [2].…”
