Treated with different coating and application of methyl salicylate and salicylic acid are used for reduce chilling injury and maintain the quality of citrus fruit during storage. This experiment was carried out Citrus Research Institute of Ramsar in 91 years in order to study enzyme activity that involved in reducing chilling injury and Maintain the fruit quality based on Split Plot design with three replications. Fruits was treated and then placed in the cool storage at 5°C and 95 percent relative humidity)RH( for 80 days. Each 20 days with sampling investigated fruit enzyme activity was measured. Results showed the highest PAL enzyme activity was in fruits treated with methyl salicylate and the lowest was in fruits coated with the Bretix wax. The highest SOD enzyme activity related to Moro fruits which treated with methyl salicylate is in the first 20 days of storage )23/19 umg/FW(. The APX enzyme activity increased in both cultivars Thomson and Moro during storage. Relatively, treatments caused the change in APx, SOD and PAl enzyme activity.

Most of the citrus fruits, especially in North of Iran are stored in common storages. This experimen in oder to persevere appearance and internal fruit quality were conducted in the Citrus Research Station at 1392, Britex-Ti wax, storage wax, polyethlene bag (individual fruit), polyethlene bag (pair fruits) were used alone and with combination with methyl salicylate (MeSA) vs. control (without coating and MeSA). ‘Moro’ blood orange fruits were treated and placed in the common storage for 80 days. Effect of every 20 days intervals was investigated to preserve fruit anti-radical compounds. Results showed that fruits in control and methyl salicylate treatments had the high ratio of TSS/TA after 80 days storage. Individual fruits in bags which treated by methyl salicylate had the highest total anthocyanin (3.99 mg/g FW) and total phenol (peel) contents (0.23 mg/g FW) during 40 days of storage. Individual fruit in bag treatment in combination with methyl salicylate application resulted to the highest ascorbic acid. The highest rate of total phenols was observed in fruits pulp treated with Britex –Ti wax after 60 days storage. Totally, combined treatments had significant influences on reducing decay and enhancing interval quality of ‘Moro’ fruits in common storage.
