Summary

Salustiana oranges, obtained from the experimental station of Oristano, Sardinia, Italy, were dipped in a 500 mg/L imazalil emulsion and wrapped in polystyrene trays using three different plastic films: Omni, MR and MY, with high, medium and low permeability to gases and water vapour, respectively. Fruits were then stored at ambient temperature (18-20 °C) and relative humidity (60-65 %) for 6 weeks. Very positive results were obtained with the imazalil-MR film combination, which let the fruits maintain their initial chemical and aesthetical characteristics during the entire storage time and limited loss due to decay to about 1%.
