ShareThe influence of applied waxes on postharvest physiological behavior and pitting of grapefruit.

Type of article: Article
Summary
Pitting developed on fruit coated with shellac-based waxes from three sources and on fruit coated with carnauba- or polyethylene-based wax. Non-waxed fruit did not pit. The results suggest that stimulation of postharvest pitting of grapefruit is caused in part by reduction of internal O2 levels. Relations between pitting and internal O2 and CO2 level are studied.
