Deskripsi
The incidence of pitting and impact bruising on ‘Brooks’ sweet cherries was greatest when the flesh temperature was near 1 °C (34°F), intermediate near 10°C (50°F), and lowest near 20°C (68°F). Therefore ‘Brooks’ cherries should be handled at temperatures between 10° and 20°C (50° and 68°F) during packing to minimize surface damage. However, because of increased respiration rates at higher temperatures, cherries should be cooled to 0°C (32°F) within 4 to 6 hours of harvest.
