- Intervention effect Irradiation delayed ripening of Bartlett pears.
- Intervention effect Irradiation decreased ethylene production in early- and late-harvest Bartlett pears compared with control pears.
- Intervention effect Irradiation maintained firmness of Bartlett pears compared with control pears.
- Intervention effect In early-harvest Bartlett pears irradiation did not affect respiration rate, weight loss or total soluble solids.
- Intervention effect In late-harvest Bartlett pears irradiation increased respiration rate and weight loss.
- Intervention effect In late-harvest Bartlett pears irradiation decreased total soluble solids.
- Intervention effect Consumers rated the appearance of irradiated early-harvest Bartlett pears lower.
- Intervention effect Early-harvest irradiated Bartlett pears showed no significant differences in the other sensory attributes.
- Intervention effect Consumers rated late-harvest irradiated Bartlett pears lower than non-treated pears for overall liking, texture and flavor.
- Intervention effect Consumers perceived late-harvest irradiated Bartlett pears as less sweet than the control.
- Observation Late-harvest irradiated Bartlett pears had 12.4% total soluble solids, compared with 13.2% in the control.
