Abstract

Plums (Prunus salicina L.), Roxa de Delfim Moreira cultivar, were harvested at the pre-climateric stage and stored at 20oC temperature and 95% relative humidity (RH). Fruits on the four physiological stages were harvested and analysed in the same time. The texture decreased and the soluble pectin increased in both groups. However, in this research total pectin level increased in the stored fruits and decreased in those harvested during the four physiological stages.
