Effect of different postharvest applications on storage of 'Valencia' oranges.

Orange cv. Valencia fruits were harvested and treated with hot water for 3 minutes at 53 deg C, hot water + wax, fungicide (0.5% Fruitgard 70T), fungicide + wax, water (control) and wax. Treated fruits were placed in carton boxes and plastic bags, and stored for 6 months at 4 deg C and 85-90% relative humidity. Weight loss of fruits increased with storage time, and weight loss of hot water + wax treated fruits was less than that in the control. Disorders and storage decay increased with storage time, while ascorbic acid content decreased with storage time. Wax-treated fruits accumulated the most ethanol during storage.
