An experimental polyethylene–candelilla-wax coating formulation was evaluated in comparison to a high-gloss, shellac and wood resin citrus coating for storage of ‘Valencia’ oranges at 15–25°C. Oranges with the wax coating had relatively high flavor scores (8.9–10.4) even after 9–16 days storage at 15–25°C. By contrast, the high-gloss coating, shown to be typical of such citrus coatings, resulte...
