Influence of storage temperature and waxing on the keeping quality of "Caracara" oranges.

Author(s) : ABAD I., MARTÍNEZ JÁVEGA J. M., MONTERDE A.

Summary

The aim of the work was to study the effects of storage temperature (1, 3, 5 °C) and waxing (5% polyethylene + 5% resins) on quality losses of "Caracara" oranges. Fruits were stored at chilling temperatures for 40 and 60 days then at 20 °C for 7 days as simulation of cold storage and marketing. Changes in weight, firmness, colour, appearance, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, juice percentage, total soluble solids, acidity, ethanol, flavour and chewiness were determined. It seems that the storage at 3-5 °C with wax application is the best method for keeping quality of the tested cultivar.
