 -  Postharvest Biology and Technology, 12(1), p.93-99, 1997 .
<br/><br/> The stage of papaya fruit ripening suitable for minimal processing and the effect of processing on physiology were determined. Wounding during slicing and deseeding led to an increase in ethylene production and respiration, earlier skin degreening and flesh softening. Fruit at the 10-50
