FIGURE 3

Traction force to remove the stem of sweet cherry fruits (A), skin penetration force (B), and normalized firmness force at 15% fruit deformation (C) in sweet cherry fruits (cvs. ‘Canada Giant’, ‘Ferrovia’) at harvest (H) and after additional maintenance at room temperature (20°C, shelf life) for 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 days. Each value represents the mean of three replications of 10 fruits analyzed at each time interval after harvest. The vertical bars in each particular figure represent the LSD (P = 0.05).
