Figures & data

Table 1. The change in MAP gas composition of sweet cherry fruit treated with GA3 and CaCl2 during cold storage.

Figure 1. Effects of pre-harvest spray treatments (GA3 and CaCl2) on the weight loss and decay ratio of sweet cherry fruit throughout cold storage. The means indicated with the same letter vertically in periods, and above the bars were not significant according to Tukey’s test at P < .05.

Figure 2. Effects of pre-harvest spray treatments (GA3 and CaCl2) on the L*, a* and firmness of sweet cherry fruit throughout cold storage. The means indicated with the same letter vertically in periods, and above the bars were not significant according to Tukey’s test at P < .05. * The scale ranges from 0 to 100 for very soft to very firm surfaces.

Figure 4. Effects of pre-harvest spray treatments (GA3 and CaCl2) on the total phenolics, total flavonoids and total anthocyanin of sweet cherry fruit throughout cold storage. The means indicated with the same letter vertically in periods, and above the bars were not significant according to Tukey’s test at P < .05.
