In this research, the effects of gas combinations, different edible coatings and storage period on the post- harvest quality of pear were investigated during storage time. The treatments were considered as two treatments of gas combinations including 10%CO2, 15%O2 (1) and 15%CO2, 10%O2 (2), five types of coating including control, propolis, 0.5 and1% chitosan and wax, and three storage time including the first, sixth and eleventh weeks. The effects of above mentioned treatments were investigated on the weight loss, firmness, soluble solids, titratable acidity and pH during 11 weeks' storage using completely randomized design with factorial test in three replicates. Analysis of variance results indicated that the effects of gas combinations, coating type and storage time, and double and triple interactions on the measured factors except pH were significant at the levels of 1 and 0.5%. At the end of the storage period, the fruit weight loss increased, which this weight loss in sample treated by the second gas combination along with wax coating and 1% chitosan coating was lower. Soluble solids and titratable acidity showed a decreasing trend over time. Total soluble solids and titratable acidity were better maintained in the samples treated by coating along with modified atmosphere 1% chitosan concentration along with the second gas combination also had a good effect on maintaining the firmness of pear fruit at 11 weeks of storage 1% chitosan coating and wax coating created a favorable atmosphere and better preserved the pear properties.  The second gas combination (and 15%CO2, 10%O2 was more suitable for pear due to higher CO2 and respiration reduction. Generally, pear coated with 1% chitosan and stored in modified atmosphere with the second gas combination 15%CO2, 10%O2 had better quality parameters than other treatments.

In this research via CT scan, the relationship between physical properties of pears and storage times with bruise due to loading force was investigated. Before dynamic loading force and storing, 45 pears were examined using Scan CT and 27 pears with zero bruise percentage were selected  and dimensions of pears (length, width, thickness) were measured, then properties such as the equivalent diameter, geometric mean diameter, spherical coefficient, surface area and aspect ratio of calculus were calculated, next selected pears were subjected to dynamic loading with three  mass of weights 300, 350 and 400 g and  5, 10 and 15 days storage was used to investigate the effect of impact on pears. Then, after dynamic loading and storing, using the CT scan in each period of storage, the rate of pear bruise was calculated. The results of the experiments showed that there is an inverse relation between geometric diameter, arithmetic diameter, equivalent diameter and surface area with the bruise percentage. Also a direct and unreasonable relationship between the spherical coefficient and aspect ratio and the percentage of bruising was absorbed. Also, according to the results obtained for mass weighing 300 g or less in 5-day storage period, the amount of geometric diameter, arithmetic and equivalent diameter, spherical and aspect ratio on percentage of bruising were not significantly affected and percentage of bruising can be almost zero and with increasing amount mass weighing and storage, the above parameter's will affect the percentage of bruising.
