Plant-Derived Tragacanth Gum Coating Ameliorates Chilling Injury and Maintains Eating Quality by Downregulating Oxidative Stress in Loquat Cultivars.

In ‘Surkh’, storage interval had a highly significant effect on chilling injury ( p ≤ 0.01), and TG-coated fruit consistently exhibited lower injury; at 20 days of cold storage plus 2 days at 20 °C ± 1 °C, TG-treated fruit recorded an injury score of 3.4 compared with 4.0 in the control ( Figure 2 B).
