Abstract
The effect of pre-harvest oxalic acid treatment on shelf-life of apricot cv. ‘Roxana’ was investigated. For this purpose, different doses (0, 1, 2, 4 and 8 mM) of OA solution were applied 7 days before optimal harvest stage. Fruit, harvested at optimum stage (firm ripe stage), transported to the postharvest physiology laboratory, immediately. Harvested fruit were kept at room (20±1°C) temperature and 50–60% relative humidity conditions for 8 days for shelf life evaluation. During storage period, some physical and chemical analyses (weight loss, fruit firmness, soluble solids content, titratable acidity fruit color, ethylene production and respiration rate ) were performed at 2-day intervals. As a result, all doses of OA gave better results than control group in terms of some quality parameters. Especially, 1 mM dose of OA was the most effective treatment for maintaining fruit quality.
