Effect of postharvest Aminoethoxyvinylglycine, 1-methylcyclopropene and Jasmonic acid treatments on storability and quality maintenance of apricot fruit cv. "Canino"

Abstract EN

The present study was performed on Canino apricots to study the effect of postharvest treatment with AVG 50, 100
mg/L, 500, 1000 μg/L 1-MCP and 50, 100 η mol JA on fruit physical, chemical and storability characteristics during cold
storage at 1 1˚C and 905 % RH.

All treatments significantly preserved fruit firmness, decreased fruit weight loss
percent and slowed acidity decrement.

1-MCP and AVG delayed the color changes and reduced the decay percent.

The
most effective treatments to maintain fruit quality up to 30 days were 1- MCP at 1000 μg/L followed by AVG at 100
mg/L.
