Summary

Irradiation process (0, 1.50 and 2.50 kilograys) with or without other treatments before irradiation, i.e., soaking in calcium chloride solution or waxing, were used in the study to investigate the effect of such treatments on the shelf-life of "Balady" orange fruits at room temperature. Results show the preferability of waxing treatment before irradiation processes. Statistical analysis of the organoleptic evaluation revealed that the shelf-life of the untreated sample (control) was 20 days at room temperature, while samples exposed to the different suggested treatments were rejected after 30 days under the same conditions.
