Abstract
Abstract Aqueous compositions of hexanal, an inhibitor of phospholipase D, has been shown to enhance the shelf life and quality of fruits and vegetables. In the present study, sweet bell pepper fruit were exposed to hexanal vapor and its effect on quality attributes, shelf-life, and antioxidant enzyme activities were evaluated during storage at 7 day intervals for 21 d. Peppers subjected to hexanal vapor treatments (0.005, 0.01, and 0.02%, w/w) showed a significant (p
