Peel permeance and storage changes in internal atmosphere composition of surface-coated mandarin.

Author(s) : LAWES G. S., PRASAD L.

Summary

In mandarin from four packinghouses the effects of a surface coating on fruit after storage at 6 °C were determined. In coated fruit the reduction in internal oxygen could be rapid and marked. There was an associated rise in juice headspace gases ethanol and acetaldehyde. A coating reduced weight loss and peel permeance by about 20%. Packinghouses varied in the degree to which the surface coating influenced fruit weight loss, peel permeance to water vapour, internal oxygen and the level of off-flavour components.
