Abstract

The object of this investigation was to improve the keeping quality of monsoon Coorg mandarins by control of microbial spoilage. Mandarin oranges stored for 2 days at 10-21 degree C and 85% RH before treatment, were washed in sodium hypochlorite solution (1000 ppm of available Cl at pH 6.5), drained, and dried in a blast of cold air. 2 wax formulations one based on carnauba wax (34%) and the other on microcrystalline paraffin wax (42%) were diluted with water to give 4% water-wax emulsions. Sodium orthophenylphenate (SOPP) dissolved in water, and isopropyl N-phenyl carbamate (IPC) first dissolved in 50 ml ethanol and then diluted with water, were added to the wax emulsion just prior to treating the fruits. 1% SOPP and 300 ppm IPC were used, either separately or together. Fruits were dipped in the wax emulsions for 5 min, drained, dried in a blast of cold air, stored in ventilated wooden crates at ambient (24-28 degree C and 68% RH) and low (5.5-7.2 degree C and 85-90% RH) temp. together with untreated controls. Fruits were examined at regular intervals for microbial spoilage and changes in external fruit colour. Peel moisture, acidity, ascorbic acid, and degree Brix were estimated on random samples. Organoleptic evaluation was also carried out. A t ambient storage, treatment with the carnauba based 4% water-wax emulsion
