Abstract

1. The fruit was sealed in polyester (thickness: 0.012mm)-polyethylene (0.05mm) laminated film and water as shown in Figs. 1-3, and treated with ethylene for 15 hours. After exposing the fruit to air the chlorophyll disappeared rapidly and the coloring was greatly hastened.<br>2. Polyvinyl chloride film for agricultural use (0.2mm) permitted loss of ethylene to some extent, but the effect on coloring was not detrimental.<br>3. The suitable concentration of ethylene for the treatment was 500-1, 000ppm for the volume of film enclosing the fruit.<br>4. The polyvinyl chloride film could be used effectively for coloring 2.4 to 9.6 tons of fruit with ethylene.
