First review round: 4.1 weeks. Overall rating: 4 (very good). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
Thank you for submitting your manuscript to Postharvest Biology and Technology. I regret to inform you that while one reviewer was supportive of this study, the other two reviewers (experts in the field) recommended against publishing your manuscript, and I must therefore reject it. My comments, and any reviewer comments, are below.
