The treatment with Ethrel provided the best flavedo or rind degreening which made these fruits turn orange with greater intensity and showed good quality during 9 days at 18☌, besides increase in weight loss. The experiment was conducted as a factorial in a completely randomized design. The fruits were analyzed every 3 days during 9 days of storage at 18☒☌, 85±5% RH for appearance, weight loss, rind color, soluble solids, acidity and ascorbic acid content. After selection, the fruits were treated with the Imazalil fungicide (200 ml 100 L -1) for two min and after 24 hours fruits were dipped in different concentrations of ethephon (Ethrel 240): control, 250, 5 ppm. The fruits were harvested with stems when they reached soluble solids:acidity ratio of >7. Most of the varieties labeled as Satsuma in the United States are known as Unshu mandarins, Mikan, or Wenzhou mandarins in Japan. What's the difference between a tangerine, a clementine and a satsuma Tangerines, clementines and satsumas are all fruits - but can you tell the difference Yes they're all the same. This study aimed to evaluate the degreening of Satsuma Okitsu tangerine using ethephon (2-chloroethyl phosphonic acid).
Fruit of Satsuma Okitsu tangerine are similar to Ponkan, with a maturation period starting in January, and supplying the Brazilian market during the off-season.įruits of this cultivar have to be harvested with green peel, which is not well accepted by the market.
