Abstract
The present work was carried out on Valencia orange fruits during 2013 and 2014 seasons. It is aimed to investigate the effect of natural compounds such as garlic oil, seaweed extract (as Cytolan Star® commercial product) and Imazalil (a synthetic fungicide) on keeping quality and storability of Valencia orange fruits under cold storage 5±1°C at 85-90%RH for 60 days of storage conditions. The obtained results revealed that fruit weight loss %, fruit decay%, TSS content, TSS/acid ratio and total sugars content significantly increased as storage period prolonging. On other hand, fruit firmness, total acidity%, juice% and vitamin C content significantly decreased affecting by different treatments under study. The most effective treatment in maintaining quality attributes of Valencia fruits during cold storage for 60 days was 0.5% garlic oil + Cytolan Star® extract at 1g/l. As well as, treating Valencia orange fruits by immersing it in Cytolan Star® extract at 1g/l alone was maintained fruit quality longer time comparing to Imazalil and control treatments.
