Postharvest quality retention of apricots by using a novel sepiolite–loaded potassium permanganate ethylene scavenger

, 2020
A new potassium permanganate–based ethylene (C2H4) scavenger was developed using sepiolite as support material. The effects of the scavenger on the main quality attributes of ‘Mirlo naranja’ apricots were evaluated in combination with modified atmosphere
