The effects of gibberellic acid (GA3), at various concentrations and application times, on the susceptibility of the rind to injury, the incidence of physiological disorders, and the storage life of Washington Navel oranges were examined over three seasons. Susceptibility of the rind to injury, the incidence of water spot, puffing and creasing, and green mould wastage in stored fruit were reduced by GA3 treatment. Resistance of the rind to puncture increased with increasing GA3 concentration. Early May sprays were more effective than early June sprays in increasing. the resistance of the rind to puncture and decreasing the incidence of puffing and creasing. Split applications were no more effective than single applications at the combined concentrations. There were no undesirable effects on internal fruit quality. Although colour development was delayed by GA3 treatment, with late harvest colour development progressed to a commercially acceptable level while internal fruit quality was still satisfactory.

Soluble Solids Concentration

A series of pre- and post-harvest experiments were conducted to enhance apple tree productivity and improve fruit quality and storage life by altering production system and post-harvest treatments in an organic orchard. Increasing the light distribution and carbohydrate uptake (summer pruning and covering the orchard ground with reflective textile) improved tree productivity, fruit color, content of anthocyanin, ascorbic acid, and total phenolic compounds and reduced incidence of fungal storage diseases. Optimal harvesting time could be determined from the starch index in some cultivars, whereas the Streif index [firmness (soluble solids concentration × starch hydrolysis score)−1] was more accurate for other cultivars. In yet others, titratable acidity and flesh firmness also produced important information. By contrast, soluble solids concentration and skin color are not useful as a result of their sensitivity to weather conditions and light intensity. Post-harvest fruit treatment with hot water (46 °C for 120 seconds) decreased fungal decay during storage in two cultivars, whereas spraying the fruit with 10% ethanol decreased fungal decay in all investigated cultivars. Optimization of storage conditions [cultivar-specific controlled atmosphere (CA) and ultra-low oxygen (ULO) storage procedures] maintained fruit quality and reduced the amount of fungal decay.

The quality attributes and storage life of ‘Irwin’ mango fruit can be effectively maintained with 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) application and/or chitosan coating. Mango was treated with 5 µl l-1 1-MCP for 12 h, dipped with 0.5 % chitosan, 5 µl l-1 1-MCP combine with 0.5 % chitosan and untreated (control) then stored at 10°C. Application of chitosan coating delayed electrolyte leakage (EL) while1-MCP maintained firmness, EL and extended storage life at 32 days after storage. Therefore, using application of 1-MCP in mango at 10°C is a feasible technology for maintains quality and prolongs storage life in order to expand marketability and export options.
