thesis
posted on 2017-11-09, 16:08 authored by Ahmad A.M.M. Al-SalemThe effect of post-harvest coating of oranges (Citrus sinensis)
and grapefruit (C. paradisi) with Pro-long at different concentrations
was investigated under three different storage conditions: cold
ambient, tropical ambient and cold store conditions. There was a
definite advantage in storing fruits at low temperature using Pro-long
in terms of shelf-life extension and reducing weight loss. Thiabendazole
was found to be effective in controlling citrus decay during
storage when used at concentration of 1000 ppm. [Continues.]
