This investigation was done to study the effect of spray for two times with
CaCl2 0.5% and 1%, high potassium fertilizer and dipping with 2% CaCl2, in
addition to packaging with polyethylene films on the storability of pear fruits
"Coscia C.V". Th
e results showed the significant superiority of high potassium
fertilizer treatment on the other treatments concerning total and single sugars
after harvesting time, while there weren't significant differences between the
other treatments concerning the remaining indicators. After four months of
storage, the packaging treatments were able to the significantly reduction of
weight loss, in addition to preserving the firmness and total soluble solids in the
comparison with unpackaged ones, the average of weight loss in unpackaged
treatments was 15% and 0.65% in packaging treatments, which led to stop the
storage of unpackaged treatments and continue packaging treatments until 7
months. After 7 months, the results showed that the dipping with 2% CaCl2
revealed the high weight loss, while was the least with high potassium fertilizer
treatment, on the other hand there were no significant differences between
treatments for firmness, total soluble solids and tetra table acidity, while total
and single sugars showed significant differences between treatments. Moreover,
the sensory tests assured the importance of packaging with CaCl2 treatments to
improve storability and quality of pear fruits, which CaCl2 1% packaging
treatment got the highest values for most of sensory tests.
The study was conducted on winter date (15th of Febraury), during 2015 and
2016 seasons, to study the effect of spraying calcium chloride CaCl2
concentrations (2, 4, and 6%), on the manufacture traits assigned in randomized
completely block design (RCBD) with four replicates.
