Abstract
A study of the respiration rates and physio-chemical changes of Chinese gooseberries Actinidia chinensis (Yang-tao) harvested at various stages, and stored in the temperature range 0-25°c, indicates that this fruit is non-climacteric. A stimulatory response to ethylene occurring at temperatures from 1O-25°c was not detected at 2°c. The respiration rate (ml CO2/kg/hr) was usually close to 10 ml at 20°c, reducing to 2 ml at 2°c. For long-term storage the holding temperature should be in the range −1°c to + 2°c.
