× ananassa L.) ( USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service, 2015 ). Production of high-value fruit for the fresh market is increasing in many of these crops. Growers need to produce high-quality fruit that has the maximum possible storage or shelf life

commercial growers in Arkansas. About 2 kg of each cultivar were harvested into 170-g vented clamshells. For each cultivar, 240 berries were harvested (20 berries/clamshell for four storage times in triplicate). After harvest, the clamshells of blackberries

., 2017 ). Therefore, it is important to develop strategies, perhaps through harvest and storage management practices, that maximize the concentration of endogenous tannins in the fruit. Polyphenols are a class of secondary plant metabolites derived

Manipulation of storage temperature for horticultural crops is an important approach for reducing physiological disorders and maintaining quality ( Jackman et al., 1988 ; Lurie, 2002 ; Wang, 1993 ). Temperature manipulation involves using optimum

decline ( Dixon et al., 2003 , 2004 ). Hence, the overall capacity for ‘Hass’ avocado fruit to be stored, or distributed over long distances, is limited. The inherent storage life, which declines with maturity, and not being able to cool the fruit to the

‘Gala’ apple strains are susceptible to stem-end fruit cracking at harvest ( Fallahi et al., 2013 ) and during storage ( Lee et al., 2013 , 2016 ). The incidence of stem-end fruit cracking at harvest is influenced by several factors such as

-MCP on apples is influenced by cultivar and storage conditions ( Watkins et al., 2000 ), as well as treatment temperature and duration ( DeEll et al., 2002 ). Since 1-MCP inhibits the action of ethylene and consequently retards fruit ripening, apples
