Keeping Quality of Pomegranate Fruit (cv. Mahdawi) by Packing, Wrapping with Aloe Vera And Putrescine during Cold Storage

Agricultural Engineering Sciences, University of Duhok, in which local pomegranate fruits were obtained one the private orchards located village Armasht (fifty-three kilometers from city Duhok). Dohuk Governorate, Kurdistan Region/Iraq, to study effect packing type (non-packing and packing) dipped for 7 min different concentration (0, 15, 30% AV gel, 1.5 3 mM PUT) on fruit quality during 2, month) cold storage at 6+1℃ with 85-90% RH. The packed closed polyethylene bags significantly superior non-packed fruits, total soluble solids%, acidity% vitamin C, while they gave lowest weight loss % period.  As AVgel PUT solution results explained that gel Significantly reduce loss% caused increase juice density, acidity compared other value. When progressed, a significant decrease was observed TSS, titratable acidity, C density all treated untreated fruits. interaction packing, period dip treatments had positive
