Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Gamma irradiation at 0.5 and 1.0 kGy reduced blue mold incidence caused by Penicillium expansum in apples from 20.2% to 10.0% and 6.5% after 90 days of cold storage.
- Intervention effect In artificially inoculated apple fruits, irradiation reduced blue mold incidence from 40% to 20.2% and 18.7% after 30 days.
- Intervention effect At 60 days, blue mold incidence in inoculated apples was reduced from 85% to 36.1% and 30% by irradiation.
- Intervention effect At the end of cold storage, blue mold in inoculated apples was reduced from 100% to 55.7% and 42.1% by irradiation.
- Intervention effect Edible coating with paraffin oil or glycerol, and irradiation at 1.0 kGy, increased apple storability more than 0.5 kGy irradiation.
- Intervention effect The coating and irradiation treatments decreased the percentage of discarded apples and weight loss.
- Intervention effect Untreated apples could be stored for 60 days, whereas apples irradiated at 0.5 kGy could be stored for 75 days.
- Intervention effect Edible-coated apples or apples irradiated at 1.0 kGy could be stored for 90 days.
