This study was carried
out to determine the effects of MAP and Aloe
vera (AV) treatments on quality characteristics of cornelian cherry (Cornus mas L.) during cold storage. In the study,
control, MAP-1, MAP-2 and AV were determined as treatments. Fruit was stored at
0±0.5° C and 90±5% relative humidity. The measurements and analyses were
performed on 7, 14 and 21^st day. During the cold storage, weight
losses were significantly retarded with AV and MAP treatments. Higher firmness
was measured from  MAP and AV-treated
fruits as compared to the control. Lower L* and hue angle values in MAP and AV
treatments were measured than the control, whereas a higher chroma value was
determined. At the end of cold storage, the lowest and the highest respiration
rate respectively was obtained from MAP-1 and AV treatments. Also, higher
soluble solids content (SSC), titratable acidity (except for MAP-2) and vitamin
C were obtained from AV and MAP treatments than the control. As a result, it
revealed that AV and MAP treatments could be used as a tool to maintain quality
of cornelian cherry fruits during cold storage.
