Abstract
Alleviation of chilling injury (Cl) of some varieties of citrus fruits including Ponkan, Seminole, lemon, grapefruit and sweet orange was investigated by using sucrose fatty acid (C10, 12, 14, 16, 18; SFA esters) during and after storage at 1°C. The treatment with 0.35 % SFA esters was able to lower the rate of occurrence of Cl of citrus fruits except sweet orange that was more tolerant to chilling.
Sucrose myristate, palmitate and stearate having HLB (hydropholic-lipophilic balance) of 16 were more effective among the SFA esters used to alleviate the Cl of citrus fruits.
