Storing lemon fruits at temperatures below 13°C caused chilling injury, namely physiological and chemical disorders and the development of excessive rot. However, warming the fruit for 7 days at 13°C after every 21 days in cold storage prevented chilling injury and enabled lemons to be kept in storage for six months and longer and retain marketable quality.
