Effect of Various Treatments on Storage of Jincheng Citrus Fruits
In order to measure storage effects of citrus fruits with various treatments, the physical and chemical indices were determined by a variety of wax (402 F, self-supply wax A, self-supply shellac wax B and mixture of self-supply wax A and self-supply shellac wax B( A: B = 3=7)) and individual packing on Jincheng at room temperature. The results showed that waxing and individual packing could significantly improve the brightness of fruits, decrease the rate of weight loss and rotting, and the finite treated with self-supply shellac wax B were the best way to improve brightness, the fruits treated with individual packing were significantly better than those of fruits treated with wax in decreasing the rate of weight loss, the fruits treated with self-supply shellac wax B and mixture of self-supply wax A and self-supply shellac wax B( A: B = 3:7) were significantly better than other treatments in reducing the rotting rate.
