- Observation rambutan seed viability declined below a critical moisture content of 27.0%.
- Observation rambutan embryos had a critical moisture of 39.0%.
- Observation rambutan embryo threshold moisture was approximately 30%.
- Observation durian seed viability declined below a critical moisture content of 26.0%.

- Observation cempedak seed viability declined below a critical moisture content of 37.9%.
- Observation cempedak embryos had a critical moisture of 43.2%.
- Observation cempedak embryo threshold moisture was approximately 33%.
- Observation Embryo threshold moisture was below critical moisture.
- Observation Higher moisture caused freezing injury, while lower moisture caused dehydration injury.
- Mechanism The authors suggest that lack of a safe moisture window may explain failed embryo cryopreservation.
