Young and unripe oranges and grapefruits stored at 15 degrees or 20 degrees evidenced shortly after harvest a marked increase in respiratory rate, and then a well-defined maximum which was followed by a decrease.Ethylene production by oranges (measured by the manometric method) was observed, with curves parallel to the respiratory curves.The respiratory upsurge was accompanied by color changes typical of maturity in the above fruits, and by abscission of stem-ends.When fruit was harvested close to or at commercial maturity, it evidenced a gradual respiration decrease without any upsurge. No ethylene production was detected in oranges of this stage.
年轻未成熟的橙子和葡萄柚在收获后储存在 15 度或 20 度时,呼吸率会明显增加,然后达到一个明确的最大值,随后下降。用测压法测量橙子的乙烯生成量,发现其曲线与呼吸曲线平行。呼吸上升伴随着上述果实成熟的典型颜色变化,以及果蒂的脱落。当果实接近或处于商业成熟度时,呼吸逐渐下降,没有任何上升。在这个阶段的橙子中没有检测到乙烯的产生。
