Abstract:
Recently harvested peaches and plums were coated with either Aloe vera or Aloe arborescens gels and
allowed to ripen at 20 ◦C for six days. Both coatings significantly delayed ethylene production, the effect
being higher in plum which had the highest ethylene production rates. Changes in quality parameters
related to peach and plum postharvest ripening, such as colour changes, reduction of acidity and increasing
in ripening index (total soluble solids/total acidity ratio), were significantly delayed in coated fruit.
In addition, both coatings significantly reduced weight loss, especially the A. arborescens gel. Thus, A.
arborescens gel could be even more effective than A. vera gel for use as an edible coating for preserving
the quality of climacteric fruit
