: In this study, postharvest treatments of MAP, UV-C and edible coating treatments were applied to cv. 0900 Ziraat
sweet cherry and their effects on quality and storage period of sweet cherry were examined. After the treatments, fruits were
stored under cold storage at 0o
C and 85-95% relative humidity for four weeks. In the course of storage period, various
physical and chemical analyses in fruit samples were performed at 7 day intervals. Weight loss, fruit firmness, total soluble
solids, titratable acidity, total phenolic compounds, total anthocyanin content, total antioxidant, decay rate and external
appearance in sweet cherry fruits were determined to detect fruit quality attributes. Increases in weight loss, total soluble
solids and decreases in fruit firmness and titratable acidity, depending on varying proportions of treatments were
determined. UVC treatments showed a significant protective effect on fruit decay and increased the amount of phenolic
compounds. At the end of storage period marketable attributes were observed in MAP, UV-C+Chitosan, UV-C+Alginat and
UV-C+MAP treated fruits.
