Recomendaciones de conservación

Commercial storage guidance for papaya, general (not fully ripe fruit). Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

7 to 13°C (45 to 55°F)

Humedad

90-95%

Embalaje

For export, polyethylene or polypropylene covers or bags may be used to maintain humidity and reduce dehydration. At the retail end, papayas should not be wrapped in plastic or other airtight wrappings as this will lead to a more rapid respiration rate and increased chance of spoilage.

At the cool end of the range storage is limited by chilling injury (skin scald, hard lumps in the pulp, water-soaked flesh) and at the warm end fruit ripen slowly; chilling susceptibility falls as fruit ripen. Produces significant ethylene: store apart from ethylene-sensitive produce. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
