Effect of Waxol (6, 8 and 10%), Waxol (6%)+Alar (250 ppm) and Waxol (8%)+Alar (400 ppm) on various physiological factors in Red Delicious apples was studied during storage at room temperature.
Waxol coatings improved the fruit quality through the inhibitory-effect on the rate of respiration, pectin hydrolysis, loss of weight and of organic acids. The use of Waxol coating was more effective when combined with Alar.
