Reducing decay of Avana mandarin fruit by the use of UV, heat and thiabendazole treatments.

ABSTRACT

The use of heat and UV treatments on Avana mandarin fruit are shown to be promising alternatives for postharvest treatments. Heat delayed fruit softening and quality was better at the end of storage. Thiabendazole treatment resulted in the lowest percentage decay, but was not significantly different from the percentage decay in the heat treated fruit. Weight loss was highest in the thiabendazole treated fruit. External appearance was negatively influenced by UV treatment leading to a loss in quality, while decay was significantly less than in the untreated fruit.
