ty of delay of ripening from 0 to 7 days at doses of 0.2.5 kGy (Moy et al.,. 7.2.4 Papayas Delaying ripening of papaya is possible when the fruits are irradiated at dose up to 0.7 kGy (Thomas, 1a). Combining irradiation with hot water dip treatment (5 , 1 min) can reduce decay by molds. This combined treatment can increase the shelf life by aminimum of 3 days if papayas are refrigerated at 1 for 3 weeks and maintained at 2C2C for 6 days (Moy and Nagai, . Akamine and Goo ( have demon- strated that subsequent control atmosphere storage further extended the shelf life by 2days. 7.2.5 ApplesA radiation dose up to 1 kGy was effective for disinfestation and delayed ripening of apples. Initial softening occurred but hydrolysis of starch was retarded (Olsen et al., ; however, irradiated apples are rmer than nonirradiated fruit after storage (Thomas, 1b). All apples surpassed the export standard for rmness after 1 months (Narvaiz etal., . At present results of combination treatment with modied atmospheres, surfacecoating, chemicals, and heat appear to be inconclusive (Wilkinson and Gould, . How-ever, there is potential for irradiation treatment insect disinfestation of apples, with 6 Lacroix et al. possible improvement in shelf life. Irradiation at dose of 0.4 kGy is permitted in China. The economic benets of this treatment have been demonstrated in this country (Zu andSha, . Marketing of irradiated apples began in the United States in 1 (Terry andTabor, . 7.2.6 Sweet Cherries The shelf life of sweet cherries was extended by combined treatment of 2 kGy with storage at 4 (Salunkhe, . 7.2.7 Figs The shelf life of fresh gs is limited by fungal spoilage (Wilkinson and Gould, . combined treatment of hot dip (5 , 5 min) followed by dose of 1.5 kGy is reported by Padwal-Desai and coworkers ( to be an effective treatment for gs. An extensionof shelf life of 3 days or 8 days, at room temperature and at 1 , respectively, was obtained by using these treat
