Three post-harvest treatments were applied on uniform fruits (wrapping, olive oil coating and control) and all fruits were stored at 0C with 90-95% RH. for three months. Results in both seasons showed that olive oil coating treatment was the most effective in maintaining fruit quality and storability. fruit firmness significantly increased, weight loss decreased. colors changes were delayed, Disorders reduced and respiration rate was slower than wrapping and control treatments but no significant differences were observed in, the content of T.S.S. and T. A. among treatments.
