RESUMO
Putrescine (Put) increased 68% in lemon (Citrus limon (L.) Burm. f. cv Bearss) flavedo, 39% in grapefruit (C. paradisi Macf. cv Marsh) flavedo, 49% in grapefruit juice, and 149% in pepper (Capsicum annuum L. cv Early Calwonder) pericarp when fruits were stored at chilling temperatures. In lemon flavedo, the coefficient of correlation (r2) between Put concentration with severity of chilling was 0.90 and Put levels almost doubled; the injury index going from 1 to 2 units. Pepper pericarp, which was the most chilling-sensitive tissue tested (injury index going from 1 to 3.8 units), showed the greatest difference in Put accumulation (166 to 413 nanomoles per gram fresh weight) between storage temperatures of 7.2 and 1°C. The least difference (338 to 470 nanomoles per gram fresh weight) was found in grapefruit flavedo between storage temperatures of 15.5 and 4.4°C; the injury index going from 1 to 1.3 units.
