After treatment, fruit were stored in ethylene free (i.e. air containing < 0.005 µL L^-1) or 0.1 µL L^-1 ethylene at 20 °C and 100% RH. The results showed that UV-C treatment delayed skin degreening and reduced endogenous ethylene production compared to untreated control fruit, however these effects reduced over the storage time. As expected, 1-MCP inhibited ethylene production, reduced calyx abscission and retained peel greenness during the storage. Both of the combination treatments, 1-MCP + UV-C and UV-C + 1-MCP reduced endogenous ethylene production and delayed skin yellowing. In all treatments, UV-C and 1-MCP resulted in lower fruit respiration rates than untreated control fruit, however this effect diminished during 7 and 14 days storage for fruits stored in air and 0.1 µL L^-1 ethylene atmosphere, respectively. There was no difference in weight loss, SSC, TA and SSC/TA ratio between the treatments and storage conditions. The results suggest that a pre-storage UV-C treatment, followed by storage at low level of ethylene improves the quality of limes, with the additional improvement when combined with 1-MCP treatment prior or after UV-C irradiation.]]> Mon 14 Jun 2021 18:15:37 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42601 Fri 26 Aug 2022 12:03:17 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47830 Fri 23 Jun 2023 12:02:28 AEST ]]>
