Abstract

Effect of nitric oxide (NO) treatment on storage quality and disease resistance of Glorious oranges was investigated in the experiment. The results showed that NO treatment could effectively reduce disease incidence inoculated with Collletotichum goeosporioides Penz and inhibit the increase of lesion diameter of Glorious oranges during storage. Compared with the control, NO treatment kept higher level of titritable acidity (TA), soluble protein, ascorbic acid (ASA) and reducing sugar, and lower level of weight lose rate and soluble solid concentration (SSC), retarding ripening of fruits.
