Fig. 1. Schematic presentation of storage treatments, their codes and accumulated temperatures (T-sums) of Exp. 1 through 3 (Fig. 1A) and Exp. 4 (Fig. 1B). The storage period of each experiment was subdivided into different phases of 6 (Exp. 4), 7.5 (Exp. 2 and 3), or 8 (Exp. 1) wk, giving four phases in the first three experiments and five phases in Exp. 4. Different treatments were created by assigning a low or a high temperature to the different phases. For Exp. 1 through 3, we only selected treatments with constant temperature during the first two phases and the last two phases. Treatments were coded by indicating the temperature (L for low and H for high) followed by the number of phases that such a temperature was maintained. Treatments without a temperature switch are indicated by L4 or H4 (Exp. 1–3) or L5 or H5 (Exp. 4) for a low storage temperature throughout the storage period and high storage temperature throughout the storage period, respectively. In Exp. 1 through 3, the treatments with a switch in storage temperature from low to high are indicated by L2H2, treatments with a switch in storage temperature from high to low are indicated by H2L2. Similarly, in Exp. 4, the letters L and H in the treatments with temperature switches are followed by the numbers 1, 2, 3, or 4 indicating the number of phases that a specific temperature was maintained. These codes are listed behind the schematic representation of the treatments and followed by the temperature sum over the entire storage period in the different experiments.
