Abstract

Agricultural Engineering Sciences, University of Duhok, in which local pomegranate fruits were obtained in one of the private orchards located in the village of Armasht (fifty-three kilometers from the city of Duhok). Dohuk Governorate, Kurdistan Region/Iraq, to study the effect of packing type (non-packing and packing) and dipped fruits for 7 min in different concentration of (0, 15, 30% AV gel, and 1.5 and 3 mM PUT) on fruit quality of pomegranate during (0, 2, 3 month) cold storage at 6+1℃ with 85-90% RH. The fruits packed in closed polyethylene bags were significantly superior to the non-packed fruits, in total soluble solids%, total acidity% and vitamin C, while they gave the lowest weight loss % during the cold storage period.  As for the effect of AVgel and PUT solution results explained that dipped fruit in 30% AV gel Significantly reduce the fruit weight loss% and caused increase total soluble solids%, vitamin C, and juice density, and total acidity % compared to the other value. When storage progressed, a significant decrease was observed in TSS, titratable acidity, vitamin C and juice density in juice of all treated and untreated pomegranate fruits. The interaction of packing, storage period and dip treatments had significantly a positive effect on the quality pomegranate fruits
