We found that, off flavour appearance in wax coated fruits
with over recommended concentration was the highest among all treatments at day 21 and 28 but not significantly
different from other treatments (Figure 3). The storage life of fruits, which stored at 5 oC are longer than that of the
room temperature storage fruit. Moreover, the storage life of wax coated fruit is longer than control fruit (Figure 5).
Total soluble solid concentration, titratible acidity, pH and peel color of mandarin orange are not different during
experiment (data not shown).
