Abstract

Postharvest losses in citrus are often associated with excessive loss of moisture, poor cooling, and temperature abuse during harvest through  to consumption. The incidence of decay from microorganisms can determine the quality of citrus and reduce the shelf life. At present there are  consumer concerns regarding some pathogen’s resistance to fungicides from synthetic sources. The cost involved in the application of fungicides  makes it unprofitable for small scale producers and the retail sectors. An alternative preservative that can offer effective maintenance of citrus  fruit quality during storage is needed. Therefore, this review summarises the functional properties of biobased oils and their application in the  control of moisture loss, firmness, Total soluble solid, titratable acidity, pH, ascorbic acid and sensory properties of citrus fruits. It was established  that there are some positive thrives on quality maintenance of citrus but antifungal activity of individual compounds in oils still require further  research. Also several oils from seeds have been reported whilst biobased oils from plant leaves not extensively exploited. This review provides  insight on beneficial effects of biobased oils on quality and shelf life of citrus fruits.
