Flesh browning (associated with CI) is described as brown discoloration of the white segments separating the arils and pale color (loss of red color) of the arils in pomegranate (Elyatem and Kader, 1984), flesh, or pit cavity browning in peach and nectarine (Lurie and Crisosto, 2005), internal flesh browning (gray pulp, pulp spot, vascular browning) in avocado (Ali et al., 2004), browning of seeds in tomato (Kader and Morris, 1975), internal browning that begins in the flesh around the pit and radiates outward toward the skin as time progresses in olives (Nanos et al., 2002), core flush, flesh browning, breakdown, soft scald, ribbon scald, deep scald, or diffuse browning of the outer cortex in apples (Meheriuk et al., 1994), and browning of seeds and pulp tissue in eggplant (Rodriguez et al., 2001). Other flesh-related symptoms connected with low-temperature storage include develop- ment of a ring or zone of granular, water-soaked tissue in the outer pericarp at the stylar end of kiwifruit (Lallu, 1997) and pulp spot and grey pulp in avocado, which are curtailed by CA (Kruger et al., 1999).The best documented symptoms of CI are mealiness=woolliness and leatheriness. Either cohesiveness of the flesh digresses during CI, resulting in mealy apples (Arana et al., 2007) or woolly peaches and nectarines (Arana et al., 2007; Lurie and Crisosto, 2005), or the fruit lacks juice and has a hard, dry texture (leatheriness) (Lurie and Crisosto, 2005; Luza et al., 1992). These changes in texture often coincide with, or are followed by, flesh or pit cavity browning and in the more advanced stages, flesh tissue separation, and cavity formation occur (Lurie and Crisosto, 2005).
