Abstract(s)
Pears (cv. Rocha’) grown at two locations and picked up at various times during the harvest season were assessed for firmness
and colour, following 9 mo of storage under air or under controlled atmosphere conditions. A second-order polynomial was able to
accurately fit the effect of time of harvest on pear’s quality, in an essentially empirical modelling effort; the best estimates of the
parameters therein depend on the growing location, as well as on the atmosphere gas composition prevailing during storage.
