Figure 8

Effect of 0 μM (control) or 100 μM (treated) melatonin on (a) total soluble solids, (b) titratable acidity, (c) TSS/TA ratio, and (d) pH in peach fruit stored at 2 ± 1°C for 21 days followed by a simulation period of 3 days at ambient temperature. The letters a, b, and c indicated significant differences following the application of MT with 100 µM as based on Tukey’s test ().
