Abstract:

This study discussed the effects of methyl bromide fumigation at different dose on the storage quality of apple and mangosteen at 20 ℃. The results showed that the fumigation treatment could inhibit respiration during the treatment and reduce the water loss. However, no significant influence was observed in the flesh hardness and the changes of color were fastened. No significant effect was found on the contents of total soluble sugar in both the two fruit varieties while the total acidity of apple increased and that of mangosteen had no obvious change.

Key words: fumigation, quality, soluble sugar, total acidity
