Great economic losses to harvested vegetable fruits are raised by postharvest chilling injury during transportation and storage, which can be safety controlled by some polysaccharide materials as chitosan.The effect of different dipping treatments viz; control (tap water for 5 min.) and chitosan at 0.5 and 1% for 5 min. as well as nano chitosan at 25 and 50 ppm for 5 min. on quality of full and cutting pods of snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cv. Paulista during cold storage.So, two experiments
