Responses of 'Fuyu' persimmon to gamma-irradiation
Description
Mature 'Fuyu' persimmons (Diospyros kaki L.) were exposed to 300 and 1000 Gy of gamma-irradiation in combination with modified atmospheres generated by polymeric film bags. Only fruit treated with 1000 Gy when in such bags developed scald-like skin damage during a shelf-like period after cool storage. These fruit also produced elevated quantities of ethane immediately after irradiation. These results have implications relating to the handling of persimmons and for potential insect disinfestation by irradiation
