”Golden-seal” (Citrus sinensis) and ”Ponkan” (Citrus reticulate) oranges were harvested respectively on Dec. 19.1981. and Nov. 30, 1981 from Sue-li. Nantou. Fruits were treated with packaging of twisted polyethylene (PE) bag packaging, ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) stretching-film packaging, and unpackaging, then stored in a polystyrene-insulated and ventilated storage room which was suggested by Taiwan Fruit Marketing Co-op. Fresh-picked ”Golden-seal” oranges possesed a higher total soluble solids (TSS) and acid content of 13.28° Brix and 0.57 mg/100 g as citric acid compared with 12.05° Brix and 0.57 mg/100 g in ”Ponkan” oranges. During storage TSS changed slightly but acid content decreased drastically in both kinds of fruits. ”Golden-seal” orange lost its initial aid about 50% or 0.43 mg/100 g after five and half months storage, whereas ”Ponkan” orange lost about 40% or 0.23 mg/100 g after three months storage. Fruits with twisted PR bag packaging showed a slightly effect on retaining acid content, but none in the others. Fruits with twisted PR bag packaging also had a low percentage of decay and high percentage of green calyx button during storage. Ratios of decay of ”Golden-seal” orange after 51/2 months storage were 5.13%, 30.09%, and 71.89% respectively in twisted PE bag packaging, EVA stretching-film packaging and unpackaging, while decay ratios of ”Ponkan” were 11.0%, 57.29%, and 85.19% respectively after 3 months storage. EVA stretching-film packaging showed much labor saving in operation, however, it is not recommended in long-term storage unless the high percentage of decay is controlled, The use of TBZ or 2-min-obutane fumigation to control fruit decay is suggested. |
