The Effects of Four Types of Covering on Physical- Chemical Properties of Pomegranate

In this study In this study, the effects of Pomegranate Peel extracts the base treatment, liquid paraffin, 1% solution of Chitosan and Aloe Vera gel At 4 ° c for a period of 105 days on the life of the cold storage and some physical and chemical properties of pomegranate cultivars was makhosh. The results showed that the treatment is applied on the pomegranates in the during storage at 4 ° c temperature On the pH, acidity, flesh firmness, soluble solids, weight loss a significant effect pomegranates. Also, the samples coated with Chitosan solution 1% compared to control and other coating treatments, showed weight higher loss. Firmness pomegranates coated with liquid paraffin over time compared to the control samples and other treatments showed more reduction. Also The TSS also pomegranates coated with chitosan solution in 1% over time compared to control and other treatments, coatings showed a more increase. amount the coating is applied on the coate pomegranates, pomegranate peel extract in In addition to protection apparent quality of the fruit and seeds, Frost the lowest compared to other samples, that countenanced the required effect of this treatment on fruit kept in cold storage .
