Abstract:   (1825 Views)
Lime fruits has including economic and nutritional value but the fresh consumption of this fruit compare to processing methods is less, because of its low storage capacity. This research has been designed for study the effects of different concentrations of salicylic acid (0, 1, 2 and 3 mM) on quantitative and qualitative characteristics of lime fruit in storage period (0, 20, 40 and 60 days). This research based factorial on completely randomized design with four replications (10 fruit per replication). Each treatment was immersed in salicylic acid for 5 minutes and after drying, were packed in disposable containers and transferred in storage at temperature of 4±1 ° C with relative humidity 85 ± 5 ° C. The results showed during storage, fruit acidity and aroma were decreased and fruit bitterness was increased. 60 days after storage, salicylic acid 3 and 2 mM, compare to the control recorded the highest fruit acidity (60%). At the end of storage salicylic acid 1 mM compare to the control had the lowest fruit bitterness (20%), flavedo browning and malondialdehyde. After 60-day storage, the lowest chilling percentage and decay and highest acidity and phenolic compound (66%) related to salicylic acid 3 mM compare to control. Salicylic acid had protected fruit acidity and antioxidant activity and prevented decay, chilling injury, browning and malondialdehyde. It seems that the use of salicylic acid 2 and 1 mM can maintain some qualitative and quantitative properties of lime fruit during 60 days of storage at 4 ± 1 °C.
