9 INTRODUCTION Orange industry is important for Egyptian National Income. Orange Planted area in Egypt reached Feddans in The producing area reached feddans producing tons of orange fruits according to the statistics of Ministry of Agriculture, Egypt (2010). Although orange occupies the greatest planted area among all citrus grown fruit area in Egypt, the exportation of fresh orange fruits to foreign markets is still limited compared with the produced quantity. Therefore, any effort directed towards maintaining fruit quality and reducing postharvest losses is important for increasing our National income. Citrus is one of the major commercial fruit crops that are widely consumed as both fresh fruit and juice. Its global demand is attributed to its high vitamin C content and its antioxidant potential (Gorinstein et al. 2001). Unfortunately, citrus is attacked by several plant pathogens that affect its fruit quality. In developing countries, where protection and proper handling of fresh fruit is inadequate, losses during transit and storage can represent over 50 % of the harvested crop (Eckert and Ogawa 1988 Wisniewski and Wilson 1992). Major postharvest losses were associated with a range of pathogens. They include green and blue mould caused by Penicillium spp., gray mould caused by Botrytis cinerea Pers ex Fr (Agrios 1997). However, it is often reported that the importance and impact of these pathogens on the citrus industry differ from country to country. Therefore, it is important for a country to first 1

10 determine the spectrum and relevant importance of the pathogens involved in postharvest decay. In order to reduce postharvest losses, synthetic fungicides are applied either pre- or postharvest. However, the application of synthetic chemical compounds to control postharvest diseases often result in chemical residues on food that may affect human health (Norman 1988) and development of resistant pathogens (Wilson and Wisniewski, 1989). Eckert (1988) explained about the residual effects of Imazalil that,six Imazalil tolerant isolates tested were cross resistant to propiconazole, fenarimol, flusilazole, penconazole, myclobutanil,prochloraz, diclobutrazole and bitertanol, all of which inhibit the C-14 demethylation reaction in sterol biosynthesis. Tests showed that the standard Imazalil spray treatments ( ppm) which give residues of 1-2 ppm in citrus fruit will not control either infection or sporulation by tolerant penecillium digitatum biotypes. Tomlin (1997) added that, Thiabendazole and Imazalil are both mainly used as postharvest pesticides; this means that they should be located on the peel of oranges, which was also confirmed by our results. At the same time a small amount of Imazalil was found in the pulp as well. This fact can be explained by diffusion of Imazalil through the peel of oranges. The tendency of diffusion can be explained by high polarity of Imazalil. The inside of orange is more polar because of the high content of water. This explains the tendency of polar Imazalil to diffuse through the orange peel. On the other hand many authors demonstrated that, Imazalil is not only found on the peel 2

11 of Apple, but also in the pulp. This fact supports the conclusion that Imazalil has a high diffusion rate. These findings show that even if the pesticides are used in the postharvest, they may diffuse through the peel of fruits and are also found in the pulp. Bolognesi and Morasso (2000) reported that, pesticides are widely used in agriculture to fight weeds, moulds, and pests for increasing productivity. Besides this positive effect pesticides pose health-risk to consumers. Guidance documents on residues analytical methods, reported that, the concentrations of pesticides residues in many products, including fruit and vegetables, must be monitored and regulations such as SANCO/825/00. More over Anneil et al. (2007) studied pesticide residues in commercially available oranges and on evaluation of potential washing methods. The results showed that, pesticides which are widely used in agriculture to increase production or protect crop, are known to be potentially dangerous to consumers. Therefore oranges from local supermarket were analyzed by the LC-ESI-MS method to determine the presence of pesticides. Two pesticides - Thiabendazole and Imazalil were found in the oranges. Both are postharvest pesticides. Analyses showed that, these pesticides are located in and on the peel of oranges. Five different washing methods washing with cold water, with hot water, with soap, with dishwashing soap, and treating with ultrasound were evaluated for their efficiency in removing pesticide residues. They added that, none of the used methods were able to remove Imazalil totally. Washing with cold and hot water decreased the concentration by about one third, but using soap was ineffective. 3

12 From all the used methods, washing in ultrasonic bath was the most effective in removing Imazalil. Therefore, the development and use of alternative postharvest control options involving biological agents or natural plant extracts have become important since it is perceived as being environmentally safer and more acceptable to the general public (Janisiewicz and Korsten, 2002). Therefore, the objectives of this study were: 1. Reduce the percentage of fruit rot. 2. Replace the used chemical treatments by the biological treatments. 3. Identifing the best treatment and the best concentration. 4. Store the fruits for long term in good quality. 4

13 Name of Candidate: Zeinab Ahmed Zaki Ahmed Degree: Ph.D. Title of Thesis: Effect of Some Postharvest Biological and Chemical Treatments on Storage of Orange Fruits Supervisors: Dr. Mohamed Reda Barakat Dr. Mohamed Ahmed Eissa Dr. Mahmoud Ali Ahmed Department: Pomology Branch:- Approval: 30 / 6 /2012 ABSTRACT This study was carried out during two successive seasons & on Washington navel orange and Valencia orange at Fruit Handling Department, Horticulture Research Institute, Agriculture Research Center, Giza, Egypt. Fruits were subjected to the following treatments: dipped in solutions of 500,1000,1500,2000 ppm Trichoderma album or Bacillus megaterium for three or five minutes for each treatment or in 1500 ppm Imazalil, (the traditional packaging house treatment), or without any other treatment (waxing only) as control. Fruits were stored at 10 C and % RH. Fruits were statistical analyzed in two stages: the first stage concluded comparison of the different concentrations from the biological treatments by the control fruits. The second stage concluded comparison of the standard concentrations from the biological treatments by the chemical treatments (Imazalil). The results show in the first stage that, the fruits quality and storability increased with the increasing concentration and duration of the biological treatment compared with the untreated fruits (control) for 24 and 21 weeks during the first and the second season respectively. Fruits were analyzed for physical and chemical changes at 3 weeks intervals during storage periods.the results of the second stage show that, fruits treated with either Trichoderma album or Bacillus megaterium showed less decay and weight loss incidence during storage compared with the other fruits which were either treated with Imazalil or untreated at all (waxing only). Moreover, all the examined postharvest treatments significantly reduced physical and chemical properties deterioration rates of fruits during storage. Biological control postharvest treatments significantly reduced the decreasing of fruit juice%, color transition firmness, total acidity and ascorbic acid juice contents. On the other hand, these treatments increased total sugars,tss, TSS/Acid ratio contents of fruits.in brief, it s concluded that, dipping postharvest treatments with either Trichoderma album or Bacillus megaterium had superior effect on reducing orange fruit rotting and keeping quality during storage in comparison with either untreated or treated with Imazalil. However, dipping postharvest treatments with Bacillus megaterium solution at 1500 ppm for 5 minutes was the best treatment in order to keep orange fruit postharvest quality. Key words: Citrus fruits,storage, postharvest, Trichoderma, Bacillus,Imazalil

14 MATERIALS AND METHODS This investigation was carried out during two successive seasons ( ), ( ) at the Agriculture Research Centre - Hort. Research Institute - Fruit Handling Department, Giza Governorate, Egypt, on Washington Navel, Valencia oranges. The fruits were picked in 27 th Feb., 2008 and in 22 nd Feb., 2009 for Valencia oranges and 13 th Dec., 2008 and 10 th Dec., 2009 seasons for Navel oranges from a private farm, in El-Fayoum when they reached the maturity stage as determined by T.S.S./acid ratio ( ) and Juice percentage reached % (Kader, 1985). Fruits from each cultivar were packed in plastic boxes and immediately transported to the Fruit Handling Laboratory Hort. Res. Institute. In the laboratory, the fruits were divided into four groupes and treated as follows: 1. Control fruits were washing, draying and waxed. 2. Fruits were dipped in Imazilil (1500 ppm) for (3) minute, then dried and waxed. 3. Fruits were dipped in solutions of Trichoderma album for (3, 5) minutes with the concentrations 500, 1000, 1500, 2000 ppm,then dried and waxed. 4. Fruits were dipped in solutions of Bacillus megaterium for (3, 5) minutes with the concentrations 500, 1000, 1500, 2000 ppm,then dried and waxed. After that fruits of each group were stored in carton boxes at 10 C, % RH to determine the physical and chemical changes during storage. And then fruits were statistical analysis on two stages, 30

15 the first stage concluded the comparison between different concentrations from the biological treatments with untreated fruits (control), the others concluded comparison between the standard concentrations from the biological treatments with Imazalil (chemical treatments). Methods of determining fruit properties a. physical properties 1. Weight loss percentage It was determend by six fruits at each examination period were weighted and the difference between its weight at the beginning of the experiment and at the examination day were represented as weight loss percentage using the following equation, Weight loss % = weight loss (g) / Initial weight of fruits Decay percentage It was detwrmined by the weight of unmarketable fruits due to pathological disorders was determined and this percentage was calculated as follows, Decay % = Decayed fruit / Initial fruit weight Fruits firmness These values were determined using Lefra Texture Analyses at 5 mm depth and 0.2 mm /second, the pressure was on two sid of fruit, for measuring firmness of orange, this value was determined by taking the firmness value of six fruits from two sides for each cultivar and the average of the fruit was measured as (g/cm 2 ). 4. Peel color 31

16 These values were estimated in six fruits by using hunter colorimeter model DP 9000 (hue angel) were determined according to Mc Gjuire (1992). 5. Juice percentage It was determined by six fruits for each treatment represent three replicates were used. This percentage was determined by weighting the fruits and weighting the extracted using this equation Juice % = Juice weight / Fruits weight 100 b. Chemical properties: 1. Total soluble solids (TSS) percentage It was determined by abbe-digital refractometer. 2. Titratable acidity percentage It was determined as citric acid by titrating with a standard solution of sodium hydroxide (0.1 N), using phenolphthalein as an indicator, Acidity was calculated as mg/100 ml of the juice according to A.O.A.C. (1995). Acidity was calculated by this equation Acidity (g) citricacid / (100ml) juice = ml NaOH x 0.1 x / ml juice x Total soluble solids: titratable acidity ratio These values were obtained from dividing the percentage of total soluble solids by that of titratable acidity. 4. Ascorbic acid content (Vitamin C) It was determined by using 2,6-di chloro phenol in % phenol dye and 2% oxalic acid as a substrate. Ascorbic acid was calculated as mg / 100 ml of the juice (Lucass, 1944). 5. Total sugars contents It was determined by A.O.A.C,

17 c. Statistical analysis The obtained data in the two seasons of the experiment were statistically analyzed as factorial randomized complete design. Means were compared by the least significant difference test (L.S.D) at the 5% level of probability according to Silva, F. de A. S. e., Azevedo, C. A. V. de. (2009). 33
