Abstract

Waxing fresh durian reduced transpiration when fruit were stored at 22 degrees C or 18 degrees C. The weight loss depended on wax type and dilutions used. Waxing restricted gas movement through the rind resulting in higher internal CO2 lower O2 and lower C2H4 concentrations compared to non-waxed control fruit. Respiration rate and C2H4 evolution decreased in waxed fruit. The sulphurous odour characteristic of ripe durian was reduced by waxing. In some cases ripening was partially or completely inhibited. The use of FMG SF 7055 wax appeared to provide a more predictable gas exchange pattern and reduction in ripening rate.
