Coreflush

A sample of 10 fruit was taken of each replicate (90–120 fruit) from each treatment, each fruit being cut open for a rating of coreflush incidence. Fruit with coreflush were counted and expressed as a percentage of the total number of fruit per sample [27]. This was done after a 6 w simulated shipping and handling period at −0.5 ◦C and 7 d shelf life (20 ◦C and 65% RH).
