The fruit cuticle as a modulator of postharvest quality [PDF]
Postharvest Biology and Technology, 2014 The composition and structure of the surface tissues have a noticeable influence on the postharvest storage potential of fruits, inasmuch as they behave as a barrier against drying, chemical attacks, mechanical injuries and microbial infections. Cuticle is made of cutin - a biological insoluble polyester - embedded in an impermeable wax complex, and ...
