Abstract:<p class="BodyAA">Sugar apple (<em>Annona squamosa</em> L.) is tropical climacteric fruit with a very short shelf life, ripening completely in just a few days under favorable conditions. Among the techniques employed to increase the time of conservation are the use of modified atmosphere and cooling. The objective of this work was to study the use of PVC film and cooling to increase the shelf-life time of fresh fruits of sugar apple. Fruits were harvested at the stage of physiological ripenes… Show more
