e0“The best control of green mould during storage of lemons and oranges was obtained when HT preceded 6 kJm(-2) UV-C illumination with 52 and 45% reduction of natural decay in fruit stored at 8 degrees C compared to the control, respectively.”
Title
Abiotic stresses sequentially applied enhance natural resistance and reduce postharvest decay.

- Intervention effect Heat treatment reduced or delayed cuticular cracking.
- Intervention effect Heat treatment remodelled the epicuticular wax layer.
- Observation Following heat treatment, scoparone synthesis occurred only in wound albedo and was greater in inoculated fruit.
- Intervention effect UV-C illumination rapidly increased scoparone in the flavedo.
- Intervention effect UV-C, particularly at 6 kJm(-2), favoured cuticular fracturing during storage.
- Intervention effect Sequential treatments controlled decay more effectively in inoculated and noninoculated fruit.
- Intervention effect Heat followed by 6 kJm(-2) UV-C reduced natural decay in stored oranges by 45% versus control.
