ShareEffect of postharvest application of some calcium salts on shelf life and quality of Leconte pear fruits during cold storage.
Author(s) : AKI M. A., EID A. M., AHMED F. F.
Summary
Results showed that increasing calcium salt concentrations caused a gradual prolongation in shelf life of fruits as well as reducing the percentages of fruit weight loss and decayed fruits, total soluble solids and total and reducing sugars. Vitamin C content of fruits and the total acidity were increased. Increasing storage duration considerably raised all the studied parameters except fruit vitamin.
