This study examined the effects of two
different types of wax treatment on the quality and
physiological changes of harvested pineapple fruits. The
results showed that both types of wax treatment can
effectively alleviate chilling injury of pineapple fruits and
improve their quality after cold storage and it is in
agreement with those reported in an earlier study, which
has shown that fruits treated with chitosan scored
superior quality compared with untreated fruits after cold
storage.
