Abstract

The parameters of induced chlorophyll fluorescence can reveal the post-harvest effect of internal and external factors on various apple and pear fruits being used as example. Dynamic index determining drop rate of fluorescence intensity in slow induction phase is considered to be the most sensitive one. The given methods allow high precise diagnostics of fruit functional state for optimization of storage period and terms.
