Influence of Vapor Gard and storage temperature on some storage characteristics of orange fruits local Cv.

Abstract

This investigation presented was to study the effect of storage temperatures ( 0 , 5 , 10 ) 0C and ventilated room as a control ( T1, T2, T3 and T0 ) and vapor gard ( 0 , 2 , 4 % ( ( VG0, VG1 and VG2 ) on some orange characteristics of orange fruits local Cv. For two months . The results showed that used of VG and Low of storage temperatures caused significantly decreases of weight loss and juice percentage , but they did not effected significantly on TSS and pH of juice fruits .
