The effect of 3 different precooling methods and time before cold storage (10 deg. C) on the storage characteristics of carambola were investigated. The effects were variable, but generally hydrocooling gave the lowest value followed by rapid cooling and room temperature. Precooling times of more than 24 hours showed a deteriorating effect on storage quality. With all 3 methods the fruits were unacceptable by day 40.
