Abstract This study investigated the effect of ozone on papaya postharvest conservation, aiming at controlling anthracnose and increasing fruit shelf life. The experiment was conducted at the Laboratory of Product Technology, Federal University of Amazonas, Manaus-AM. Fruits were treated with 0; 0.6; 1.5 and 3.3 ppm ozone and commercial fungicide. They were then stored at room temperature (27 ± 2 °C and 65 ± 5%...
Avaliaram-se os efeitos do fungicida benomil (0,06%) e da luz ultravioleta (254nm, UV-C) na conservação de pêssegos cultivar Jade, aos 4 e 8 dias de armazenamento em condição ambiente (26ºC e 75-85% de UR). Os tratamentos foram: T1-Testemunha;T2 - benomil (0,06%); T3 - 10 minutos de exposição à radiação UV-C (3,71 kj. m-2) e T4 - 30 minutos de exposição à radiação UV-C (11,15 kj. m-2). O delineamento experiment...
