STRUCTURAL CHANGES IN EPICUTICULAR WAX AND STORAGE RESPONSE OF ‘MARSH SEEDLESS’ GRAPEFRUITS AFTER ETHANOL DIPS AT 21 AND 50°C

G. D'hallewin, M. Schirra
This paper deals with the potential of postharvest treatments with ethanol solutions in decay control of ‘Marsh seedless’ grapefruit during long-term storage and subsequent simulated marketing conditions. Structural changes in epicuticular wax as a function of treatments have been related to fruit susceptibility to decay.
