‘Golden Delicious’ apples (Malus domestica Borkh) were pressure-infiltrated at harvest with a 4% CaCl2 solution either without prior heat treatment or following 4 days at 38C. Examination of the apple surfaces from both treatments by low-temperature scanning electron microscopy revealed that heat treatment changed the pattern of epicuticular wax. The epicuticular wax of nonheated fruit exhibite...

Blackberries are very perishable with a limited shelf life due to high metabolic activity and susceptibility mechanical damage microbial attack. The effect of edible coatings (EC) based on candelilla wax (CW) guar gum (GG) the quality, life, bioactive-compounds content antioxidant blackberries stored at 25 ± 2 °C for 6 days, was evaluated. All EC contained GG (0.4%) gallic acid (GA)(0.06%); EC1...

In this study, the effect of spermidine (SP) treatments at different doses after harvest on changes in pomological and biochemical contents nectarine fruits was determined. The were placed cold storage (4 ± 0.5 °C 90 5% RH) for 30 days. Specific organic acids phenolic compounds from analyzed by HPLC device. Weight loss decay values, which are quality criteria fruits, increased during compared t...
