Abstract
Subatmospheric pressure (hypobaric) treatments increased the storage life of apricots by 15 to 37 days, peaches by 7 to 27 days, sweet cherries by 16 to 33 days, pears by 1.5 to 4.5 months, and apples by 2.5 to 3.5 months. In general, chlorophyll and starch degradation, losses of sugars and titratable acidity, and formation of carotenoids were delayed by the subatmospheric pressure treatments.Keywords
