However, there were no differences in hue or L∗ valuesafter 4 days of storage among treatments with different intensities(Table 1) when compared with controls kept in darkness, acondition knownto induce and accelerate postharvest senescenceand the de-greening process.Whensampleswere incubated in thepresence of a 16 h light (25 μmolm−2 s−1)/8 h dark photoperiod,a delay in de-greening was also detected, but to a lesser extentthan that detected under continuous light treatment.
