Detailed explanations of the 10 experimental treatments
Treatment name | Short name – description |
---|---|
Control | Control – Valencia oranges of this group were dipped into water (25°C) for 5 min |
HWD | HWD at 50°C for 5 min – Fruits of this group were dipped into hot water at 50°C for 5 min. |
HWD + A | HWD + Additives (A) – First, water was heated until 100°C, then 2:1,000 (w/v) Arabic gum was added and cooled down to 50°C. Next, 0.5:1,000 (w/v) citric acid, 0.5:1,000 (w/v) potassium sorbate and 0.5:1,000 (w/v) vitamin C were added and cooled down to 50°C. Finally, the fruits were immersed in this solution for 5 min at a constant temperature of 50°C. |
Additives (A) | Additives alone at 25°C for 5 min – This treatment is the same as above described HWD + A treatment; however, the temperature of the solution was cooled down to 25°C and fruits were immersed in this solution for 5 min. |
HWD + CC (1%) + A | 1.0% |
CC (1%) + A | 1.0% |
HWD + CC (0.5%) + A | 0.5% |
CC (0.5%) + A | 0.5% |
HWD + CC (0.5%) | 0.5% |
CC (0.5%) | 0.5% |
