“…Cold shock treatment was first reported in 1979, using short‐term rapid cooling with ice‐water to suppress fruit ripening and extend shelf‐life by reducing rates of metabolism, respiration and enzyme activities (Hakim, Purvis, & Mullinix, ; Lee & Lee, ; Ogata & Sakamoto, ). Another temperature treatment called heat shock treatment, in the form of short exposure to either hot air or water, has been applied to inhibit the ripening process and growth of mold, which could lower the decay on citrus fruit and induce resistance to chilling injury (Aghdam, Sevillano, Flores, & Bodbodak, ; Paull & Chen, ; Ummarat, Matsumoto, Wall, & Seraypheap, ). In terms of the results of physiological indicators, cold and heat shock treatment have the different mechanism of action.…”
