Notes:
Hand harvested ‘Meeker’ red raspberries were held at 4°, 14°, and 25°C for up to 12 days using two types of sulfur dioxide generating pads. Visual mold ratings were lower for fruits held with either SO2 generator, but Howard Mold Count did not differ between the generators and the control fruits. Fruits stored with the generators were brighter and redder in color than controls when stored at 4°C. Irregular bleaching of anthocyanins from drupelets occurred when fruits were stored at 14°C or higher. Use of SO2 generators is not recommended for fresh market fruit or nonheat treated processing fruit due to the bleaching and due to SO2 residues in the fruit.
