Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Waxing reduced weight loss of tangerine fruit during storage.
- Intervention effect Waxing improved the shine of tangerine fruit.
- Intervention effect Shellac-based waxes decreased internal O 2 levels in tangerine fruit (5% vs. 19% in non-waxed fruit).
- Intervention effect Shellac-based waxes increased internal CO 2 in tangerine fruit (6% vs. 2% in non-waxed fruit).
- Intervention effect Shellac-based waxes increased ethanol levels in tangerine fruit.
- Intervention effect Shellac-based waxes significantly reduced post-packing degreening of tangerine fruit.
- Intervention effect Shellac-based waxes significantly stimulated pitting of tangerine fruit.
- Intervention effect More gas-permeable wax coatings resulted in less internal gas modification than shellac-based treatments.
- Intervention effect More gas-permeable wax coatings gave low incidences of pitting in tangerine fruit.
- Intervention effect Low oxygen controlled atmosphere inhibited post-packing degreening compared with high carbon dioxide.
