Cover Story: Fresh citron fruit (Citrus medica L. cv. Liscia-diamante) were stored at different temperatures (5, 10 and 20 °C at 70% RH) for 7 and 14 days to reveal changes in post-harvest quality, volatile profile and antimicrobial activity of essential oils (EOs). Post-harvest quality traits showed good retention of green peel color during storage at 5 °C, while EOs from samples stored at 10 and 20 °C showed the highest antimicrobial activity. EOs presented monoterpene hydrocarbons (87.1 to 96.3% of the total oil profile) as the most abundant compounds, followed by oxygenated metabolites ranging from 9.7 to 3.1% of the total pattern. The results indicated storage at 10 °C for 7 days as the most suitable to preserve the post-harvest quality of the fruit and the antimicrobial activity of the extracted EOs. View this paper
