Abstract
Loquat fruits cultivars Gold Nugget and Sayda were over-wrapped with 12.5 µ-, 14 µ-, or 16 µ-thick PVC films and kept at 0°C for 60 days.
Percent weight loss, skin color (L*, hue angle), firmness (N), total soluble solids (%TSS), titratable acidity (%TA), physiological and fungal disorders were determined immediately after harvest and at 15-day intervals.
Over-wrapping with 12.5 µ-thick PVC film resulted in higher weight loss in both cultivars.
Incidence of skin browning was higher in fruits over-wrapped with 16 µ-thick PVC films.
Skin browning and decay and off-flavor limited storage life.
Storage life of Gold Nugget and Sayda loquat fruits over-wrapped with PVC films could be stored for 30 days at 0°C .
