Abstract The objective of this study consisted of evaluating the effect of the application of chitosan (Q), 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) under two controlled temperatures on some physical, physiological, and chemical parameters contributing to the quality of Persian lime Citrus latifolia fruits. Eight treatments were evaluated, resulting from the combination of four senescence retardant applications (Q, 1-MCP, 1-MCP + Q, and without application) on fruits stored at two temperatures (12/20°C). Epidermis color (luminosity, chromaticity, and hue), fruit appearance, respiration, weight loss, total juice content, total soluble solids, and titratable acidity were registered during the study. The results indicate that More >
