Effect of storage treatment on physical and chemical characteristics of organically produced fruit of Egyptian lime (Citrus aurantifolia B.) during cold storage

This study was carried out during two seasons o­n Eayptian lime, local cv. (Citrus aurantifolia B.) grown at an Experimental Orchard Station, Faculty of Agriculture, Assiut University, Assiut Govermorate, Egypt. The objected of this investigation was studying effect of some storage treatments, i.c. dipping fruits in GA3 (50ppm) without or with wrapping, dipping fruits in Sida film (5%) without or with wrapping, dipping fruits in GA3 (50ppm) plus Sida film (5%) without or with wrapping and untreated fruits (control fruits) without or with wrapping, o­n physiochemical changes of treated or untreated organically produced fruits with Phosphorine or Phosphorine plus GA3(20ppm) sprayed two weeks pre-anticipated harvest date of mature fruits under cold storage (3-5°Cand 85-90% RH). According to the obtained results of this study, it could be concluded that spraying GA3 (20ppm) two weeks pre-anticipated harvest fate o­n treated fruits with phosphorine gave the best physiochemical characters of mature limes. As well as, dipping mature limes treated with phosphorine plus GA3 (50ppm) without wrapping showed the best physiochemical characteristica of stores fruits under the cold storage conditions of this study.
