Application of natural compounds such as essential oils and plant materials as bio-products is known as an appropriately safe strategy for controlling decay and maintaining fruit quality. Pistachia atlantica essential oil (PAO) (ranging between 0, 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000 and 1200 µl l-1) was tested for antifungal activity against Botrytis cinerea in vitro conditions. Carboxymethyl cellulose (C...

The effects of four levels of SO2 (0.0%, 0.06%, 0.125% and 0.25%) on the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of two Persian grape cultivars “Keshmeshi seedless” and “Shahroudy” were evaluated during the cold storage in 1995-1997. This research was carried out in a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design in cold storage at the laboratory of Horticultural Department, Colle...
