%X Postharvest vacuum infiltration of a calcium solution into unripe peaches delayed the time to ripen at 20°C compared with untreated fruit, with the use of 1% calcium at 21 kPa giving an increase in storage life of about 30%. However, the infiltration technique induced skin injury which could not be overcome.
