Q.1
Given below are two statements
Statement (I) : The most common visible chilling injury symptom in fruit is skin pitting
Statement (II) : Intermittent warming of produce for a short period aggravates the incidence of chilling injury.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
- Statement (I): Skin pitting (formation of sunken, necrotic surface depressions due to sub-epidermal cellular collapse) is the most widespread and diagnostic symptom of chilling injury in tropical and subtropical fruits (e.g., banana, mango, citrus). (True).
- Statement (II): Intermittent warming (temporarily elevating temperature to $18 - 20^\circ\text{C}$ for short intervals during low-temperature storage) allows produce to metabolize toxic intermediates, significantly alleviating/reducing chilling injury rather than aggravating it. (False).
- Conclusion: Statement (I) is true but Statement (II) is false.
- Correct Option: Option 3 (Statement (I) is true but Statement (II) is false).
