carbendazim+LDPE+1-MCP could maintain fruit quality during the storage period that was evaluated. Furthermore, ES-MCO had a direct effect on fungal growth due to the potential of lauric acid, monolaurin and other fatty acids which are the main components of ES-MCO that may have antifungal properties to suppress fungal pathogen development (Sripong et al., 2014). 07142128354205101520253035ControlCarbendazim2% ES-MCOCarbendazim + LDPE + 1-MCP2% ES-MCO + LDPE + 1-MCPADays of storageDifferent color of pericarp (Δ E)071421283542051015202530ControlCarbendazim2% ES-MCOCarbendazim + LDPE + 1-MCP2% ES-MCO + LDPE + 1-MCPBDays of storageDifferent color of calyx (Δ E)0714212835420246810ControlCarbendazim2% ES-MCOCarbendazim + LDPE + 1-MCP2% ES-MCO + LDPE + 1-MCPCDays of storageWeight loss (%)0714212835421520253035404550ControlCarbendazim2% ES-MCOCarbendazim + LDPE + 1-MCP2% ES-MCO + LDPE + 1-MCPDDays of storageFirmness of pericarp (N)0714212835420510152025ControlCarbendazim2% ES-MCOCarbendazim + LDPE + 1-MCP2% ES-MCO + LDPE + 1-MCPEDays of storageEthylene production(μLC2H4.kg-1h-1)0714212835420.10.20.30.40.50.6ControlCarbendazim2% ES-MCOCarbendazim + LDPE + 1-MCP2% ES-MCO + LDPE + 1-MCPFDays of storageDisease index (DI)
Figure 1 Different color of pericarp (A) and calyx (B), weight loss (C), pericarp firmness (D), ethylene production (E) and disease index (F) of mangosteen fruits coated with 2% ES-MCO or 500 ml/l carbendazim (fungicide), packed in LDPE bag containing 1-MCP sachet sachet before storage at 13oC, 90-95% for 42 days. Non - carbendazim treated, non - ES-MCO coated and non-packed fruit were served as the control.
