Effect of Chitosan and Calcium Chloride Spraying on Fruits Quality of Florida Prince Peach Under Cold Storage
ثبت نشده
چکیده
This work was carried out during two successive seasons (2009) and (2010) to examine the response of Florida Prince peach fruits to some pre-harvest treatments i.e. chitosan at 0.5 and 1.0% and CaCl2 at 2 and 4 % as well as their combinations on some fruit quality parameters under cold storage . Fruit weight loss (%), decay (%) and T.S.S.(%) of Florida Prince peach fruits were increased in most cases with advancing the storage duration. However, fruit firmness and titratable acidity (%) were decreased with advancing the storage period. Meanwhile, the lowest values of weight loss (%) and decay (%) and the best results of shelf life and firmness were gained by using the treatment of 1% chitosan + 4% CaCl2. In addition, the highest fruit T.S.S., besides the lowest fruit titratable acidity percentage was scored by control and chitosan treatments during the storage period.

The fruits were packed in cor...
متن کاملEffect of Pre-Harvest Calcium Chloride Spraying on Maintaining Fruit Bioactive Compounds and Antioxidant Capacity of Three Citrus Cultivars during Storage
Bioactive components play an important role in human health. In general, bioactive compounds of fruits decline during storage. Therefore, maintaining fruits bioactive compounds during storage is very important. In this study, effects of pre-harvest CaCl2 sprays (0, 1, 2, and 4%) at different fruit development stages (120, 140, and 160 days after full bloom) on maintaining fruit quality of thre...
