Percent weight loss, skin color (L*, hue angle), firmness (N), total soluble solids (%TSS), titratable acidity (%TA), physiological and fungal disorders were determined immediately after harvest and at 15-day intervals. Over-wrapping with 12.5 mu-thick PVC film resulted in higher weight loss in both cultivars. Incidence of skin browning was higher in fruits over-wrapped with 16 mu-thick PVC films. Skin browning and decay and off-flavor limited storage life. Storage life of 'Gold Nugget' and 'Sayda' loquat fruits over-wrapped with PVC films could be stored for 30 days at 0 degrees C.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessPVC film'Gold Nugget''Sayda'loquatstorage lifeConference Object88736336710.17660/ActaHortic.2011.887.622-s2.0-80053284656Q4WOS:000323222200062N/A
