Hagenmaier, Robert D. | Goodner, Kevin | Rousseff, Russell | Dou, Huating
'Valencia' oranges and 'Marsh' grapefruit with three different coating treatments (resin, wax, or non-coated) were kept in cold storage for 1 - 5 months, with the oranges at 1 °C and the grapefruit at 3° or 7 °C. Stored fruit were analyzed for ethanol content, chilling injury and electronic nose response. The ethanol content of oranges and grapefruit both increased substantially with storage time with high-gloss coatings. Grapefruit had extensive chilling injury when not coated, but high ethanol when coated with high-gloss coatings. Electronic nose response was significantly different for grapefruit with different coatings.
