Pomegranate fruit consumption has increased rapidly throughout the world, mainly because of its medical and nutritive attributes. Thus, considerable commercial and scientific interest exists in prolonging its postharvest life with non-chemical applications as much as possible to meet the year-round demand for this fruit. The present work aimed to study the effects of black seed oil (0.1% and 0.5%), propolis (0.01% and 0.1%) and fludioxonil (0.06%), with and without modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), on the postharvest quality of pomegranate cv. Wonderful. Treated fruits were stored at 6.5±1 °C and 90-95% relative humidity for 150 days. The results indicated that both black seed oil and propolis treatments significantly influenced the maintenance of fruit weight and quality. At 150 days after storage, the fruit weight loss of the samples treated with MAP + 0.5% black seed oil, MAP + 0.1% propolis and MAP alone were found to be 5.5%, 6.3%, and 9.1%, respectively, whereas the weight loss of the untreated control fruits was 19.8%. Application of either 0.5% black seed oil or 0.1% propolis, especially when combined with MAP, was also effective in controlling gray mold development and slowing the occurrence of chilling injury.
石榴果在全球范围内的消费迅速增长，主要是因为其具有医学和营养属性。因此，人们非常关注通过非化学方法尽可能延长其采后寿命，以满足全年对这种水果的需求。本研究旨在研究黑籽油（0.1%和 0.5%）、蜂胶（0.01%和 0.1%）和氟啶胺（0.06%），以及有和没有改良气氛包装（MAP）对石榴品种美妙的采后品质的影响。处理过的果实储存在 6.5±1°C 和 90-95%相对湿度下 150 天。结果表明，黑籽油和蜂胶处理都显著影响了果实的重量和品质保持。在储存 150 天后，发现用 MAP+0.5%黑籽油、MAP+0.1%蜂胶和单独 MAP 处理的样品的果实失重率分别为 5.5%、6.3%和 9.1%，而未处理的对照果实的失重率为 19.8%。应用 0.5%黑籽油或 0.1%蜂胶，特别是与 MAP 结合使用，也能有效控制灰霉病的发生，减缓冷害的发生。
