Apple Fruits (Malus domestica Bork. cv. 'Golden Delicious') were
harvested at three successive dates with intervals of one week between each
date. The fruits were packaged with polyethylene films and then stored at 0±1
oC to study the effect of th
ese factors on the quality of the fruits and their role
to reduce weight loss after harvest. The natural loss of the fruit weight and
quality indices: fruit firmness, total soluble solids, titrable acidity and starch
content were studied.
Green tomato fruits of different studied hybrids such as, Amal, Steel,
Tartila, and 2-75/96, which had been grown in a greenhouse at Abi- Jarash
Farm were picked up and stored at temperatures of 12 c and 20 c for 29 days.
The fruits, which were st
ored at 12 c had been transferred to 9 cْ, and then
stored for an additional period of two weeks. The chemical composition of the
stored fruits was evaluated, which included: acidity percentage, total soluble
solids, and the quantity of vitamine C. The ratio of fruit weight loss during
storage was studied as well.
