The research purposed to determine the effect of the concentration of beeswax and storage time in orange fruit, which the stalk was soaking in the AgNO3 solution. The model of experimental design methods used in the research was a randomized block design with two factors. The first factor was the concentration of AgNO3 10 ppm, 8 hours and concentration of beeswax coating were 0%, 4%, 8%, and 12%. The second factor was the storage time. The levels of vitamin C, weight loss, hardness, pH and total dissolved solids of the orange fruit have investigated. The result showed that concentration of beeswax (b) was affected the weight loss and vitamin C. Meanwhile, storage time (t) was affected weight loss, vitamin C, total dissolved solids, hardness, and pH. Beeswax 8% was the best concentration according to less weight loss, total dissolved solids, and pH. On the other hand, using Beeswax 12% was the best concentration according to the levels of vitamin C and hardness.
