Abstract
To investigate the effect of modified atmosphere packaging, CO_2 absorbent CaO and ethylene absorbent KMnO_4 on the fruit quality of miscellaneous citrus fruit during cold storage, ‘Tsunokaori’ tangor citrus fruits ((Citrus sinensis×C. unshiu)×C. unshiu) in low density polyethylene bags with or without CaO and KMnO_4 were stored at 4$\pm$1$\circ$ under a relative humidity of 85$\pm$5%. The CaO remarkably decreased water loss of fruit during storage. The organic acid content and sugar-acid ratio of fruit gradually decreased in all treatments. But the sugar content did not change during storage. Internal CO_2 content of fruit was also discussed as related to the changes in fruit quality.
