Summary

Litchi Hei Ye fruits were harvested at the full red colour stage then dipped the following day in various combinations of 10% citric acid, 0.2% sodium benzoate, 0.07% methyl topsin (thiophanate-methyl) and detergent for various durations. In 2 of the treatments, dips were heated to 46.5 deg C. Compared with the traditional method of using SO2 fumigation plus a low pH dip, these treatments were safer, easier and cheaper (total cost PBY 64/ton, as opposed to PBY 110/ton).
