Effet des divers traitements après récolte sur la conservation des oranges 'Valencia'.

Effect of different postharvest applications on storage of 'Valencia' oranges.

Résumé

Orange cv. Valencia fruits were harvested and treated with hot water for 3 minutes at 53 °C, hot water + wax, fungicide (0.5% Fruitgard 70T), fungicide + wax, water (control) and wax. Treated fruits were placed in carton boxes and plastic bags, and stored for 6 months at 4 °C and 85-90% relative humidity. Weight loss of fruits increased with storage time, and weight loss of hot water + wax treated fruits was less than that in the control. Disorders and storage decay increased with storage time, while ascorbic acid content decreased with storage time. Wax-treated fruits accumulated the most ethanol during storage.
