Evaluation of wax to extend the postharvest storage life of honeydew melons (Cucumis melo L. var. inodorus Naud.).

ABSTRACT :

 

This experiment evaluated Citruseal wax at 50 and 80% (v/v wax/water) for effects on storage life on Honeydew melons (Cucumis melo var. inodorus). Waxing reduced weight loss after 4 and 6 weeks of storage at 3 or 6 deg C and chilling injury at 3 deg . Waxing did not reduce breakdown caused by bacteria or fungi (largely Alternaria and Fusarium spp.) at 3 deg . These results indicate that diluted Citruseal wax can be used to reduce water loss and chilling injury at low temperatures.
