Storing lemon fruits at temperatures below 13°C caused chilling injury, namely physiological and chemical disorders and the development of excessive rot. However, warming the fruit for 7 days at 13°C after every 21 days in cold storage prevented chilling injury and enabled lemons to be kept in storage for six months and longer and retain marketable quality.  相似文献

Storage of lemons is designed to extend the marketing of fruit throughout the year, from the main harvest season in the winter until late summer, which is a period of short supply in the market. This work was concerned with physiological and chemical attributes of stored lemons either seal-packaged in high-density polyethylene plastic film (HDPE), or left unwrapped, during storage at 13, 8 and 2°C. Intermittent warming (IW) was used to prevent chilling injury at the lower temperatures. Differences between fruit subjected to the two treatments which produced longest storage (sealed at 13°C and non-sealed at 2°C with IW) are discussed. Both treatments are recommended for adoption in commercial practice.  相似文献

Sweet cherries (Prunus avium (L.) ‘Lambert’ and ‘Blackboy’), lemons (Citrus limon (L.) Burm. f. ‘Lisbon’) and peaches (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch, ‘Summerset’) were stored at 77–83, 90–94 and 95–99% RH (high humidity) at near-optimal storage temperatures after harvest and treatment with fungicides. High-humidity storage did not increase the storage life of peaches held at 0°C, but the life expectancy of cherries (both cultivars) was extended by 7–10 days at 0°C, and of lemons by at least 4 weeks at 10°C when fruit were stored at 95–99% RH compared with levels below 95%. The beneficial effects of high humidity were attributed to retardation of peel desiccation and associated reductions in fruit deformation, peel de-greening, chilling-injury and decay in lemons and to the maintenance of a fresher stalk and a firmer, less shrivelled fruit in cherries. High humidity had no effect on decay in cherries or peaches, but it significantly reduced weight loss and delayed the appearance of shrivel in peaches stored at 0°C. However, after storage at high humidity for 4 weeks, peaches ripened with low rates of C2H4 evolution and showed severe low-temperature injury, slight peeling-injury and a poor flavour ex-store.  相似文献

Early-season (September-October) California-Arizona desert lemons held at 0-2.2°C (mean 1°C) for 2, 4 or 6 weeks showed greater chilling injury than did mid- (January) or late-season (February-March) fruit. More lemons were injured and the symptoms were more severe the longer the fruit was held at 1°C. There was no chilling injury to lemons stored at 5 or 10°C. Curing fruit for one week at 15°C before cold-treatment at 1°C significantly reduced the incidence and severity of chilling injury. Rind injury that developed on cured fruit held at 1°C for two or four weeks for Tephritid fruit fly quarantine purposes was within acceptable levels for mid- and late-season lemons, and may also be acceptable for the early-season lemons if the slight injury to this fruit is disregarded and quarantine treatments are for two or three weeks only.  相似文献

Mature ‘Queen’ pineapple fruit were stored for 30 days at various temperatures and afterwards examined for internal quality. A storage temperature of 8°C is at present generally accepted as the optimum. It was found that peroxidase (PO) activity is correlated with storage temperature and the appearance of storage injury symptoms. High storage temperatures of 10°C, 12°C and 16°C resulted in a high PO activity with internal browning of the core and pulp whereas temperatures of 2°C, 4°C and 6°C resulted in a low PO activity and white watery pulp. To verify these results, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was carried out with the proteins in the fruit. The difference in the two extreme temperatures of 2°C and 16°C resulted in a high intensity of high molecular mass proteins at 2°C and an increase in intensity of low molecular mass proteins at 16°C. There is a distinct “change over” of these protein band intensities at 8°C to 12°C. It is presumed that the correct storage temperature will be within these two limits.  相似文献

Fruit firmness, extractable juice, woolliness and browning of the mesocarp tissue in ‘Independence’ and ‘Flavortop’ nectarines stored at —0.5°, 3°, 5° and 7°C for four weeks were determined during ripening at 15°C. The firmness of both ‘Independence’ and ‘Flavortop’ during ripening decreased as storage temperatures increased. The percentage extractable juice after cold storage and during ripening varied considerably between cultivars and between the storage temperatures. The extractable juice of fruit stored at higher temperatures tended to increase during ripening, whereas fruit stored at lower temperatures tended to decrease first before increasing. At storage temperatures of —0.5° and 3°C both cultivars passed through a stage of woolliness during ripening, while less woolliness occurred after storage at 5° and 7°C. In both cultivars the percentage extractable juice during ripening was higher on average at storage temperatures of 5° and 7°C. Severe browning of mesocarp tissue in both cultivars occurred during ripening after storage at 3°C. The effect of fruit size on changes in firmness, development of woolliness and mesocarp browning in ‘Flavortop’ nectarines stored at — 0.5°C for four weeks and ripened at 15°C was also determined. Larger nectarines lost firmness more rapidly, woolliness occurred sooner and the mesocarp tissue was more prone to browning than smaller fruit during ripening.  相似文献

‘Independence’ nectarines were stored at — 0.5°C for three or four weeks or at 3°C for four weeks or kept at room temperature for 18 h prior to storage for four weeks at -0.5°C. After cold storage, fruit from all treatments was ripened at 10°, 15°or20°C. In all treatments the percentage woolly fruit initially increased to high values and thereafter decreased with further ripening. The rate of increase and decrease in woolliness depended on the ripening temperature. A storage period of four weeks at — 0.5°C resulted more woolliness during subsequent ripening. Woolliness persisted longer after a four-week cold storage period than after a three-week one. When fruit was delayed at room temperature prior to cold storage, woolliness generally developed earlier and to a lesser extent during ripening. At all ripening temperatures initial storage at 3°C resulted in most woolliness extending over the longest period. In addition, browning of the meso- carp tissue occurred only in fruit cold stored at 3°C.-The delay period before cold storage decreased fruit firmness by 15.7 to 17.6 N. Except for fruit subjected to the delay period, the extractable juice in fruit of all treatments first decreased during ripening to low values then increased.  相似文献

A storage experiment was aimed at preventing low temperature storage disorders in nectarine fruits, of cvs July Red and Autumn Grand. Fruit was either cooled immediately after harvest or kept at 20°C for 48 h, before transfer to controlled atmosphere (CA) conditions at 0°C. Combinations of 0, 10, 15 and 20% C02 with 8 and 16% 02 were assayed. The fruit was evaluated following cold storage, 31 days after harvest, and after four and eight days under ‘shelf conditions’ (ripening at 15-18 °C). Warming of the fruit at 20°C before cold storage prevented woolliness in the absence of elevated C02 levels but did not affect internal browning and increased reddish discoloration; further, it enhanced water loss and ripening, increasing fruit softening markedly. Conversely, high C02 delayed fruit ripening in CA storage, keeping the fruit firmer, and preventing the development of woolliness, internal browning and reddish discoloration during ripening, the best results being mostly obtained with 20% C02. 02 levels assayed did not show clear effects, but decreased 02 concentration in absence of high C02 showed some benefit in ‘July Red’. No deleterious effect of C02 concentrations even as high as 20% could be detected. Thus, even though high C02 in CA conditions showed promise for controlling disorders and preventing over-ripening, further work is needed on other cultivars, and lower 02 concentrations should be investigated before making a general recommendation.  相似文献

To evaluate the effect of maturity and storage temperature on the development of the physiological disorder peteca, lemons cv. Eureka were harvested from a grove with northern exposure located in Mallarauco (33°45′ Latitude South) Metropolitan Region of Chile, at 2 levels of maturity (silver or yellow). After storage for 60 d at 3 or 7 °C, under 90% R.H., fruits were evaluated visually for incidence of epidermal and subepidermal peteca. At that time, the concentration of galacturonic acid and degree of methylation were measured in the albedo, and calcium, hydrogen peroxides and total oxalate concentrations, peroxidase and polyphenoloxidase (PPO) activities were determined in the juice and albedo. Yellow lemons at 3 °C developed more epidermal peteca than fruit stored at 7 °C, and that silver fruit stored at 3 and 7 °C, with these last lemons presenting a higher pectin quality than fruit stored at 3 °C. Maturity and temperature interacted significantly on the concentrations of peroxide and calcium in the albedo, which in average were much higher than in the juice, while for PPO and peroxidases, this interaction was highly significant both in juice and albedo, with higher activity in the albedo. These biochemical evaluations suggest that peteca is a result of some kind of stress on the fruit. It is concluded that yellow lemons are more prone to develop peteca than silver fruit. They will develop greater incidence of the disorder when stored at temperatures as low as 3 °C for 60 d, and that this condition affects the degree of methylation in the albedo, which would end up altering the quality of pectins.  相似文献

Summary

Mature green mango fruit (Mangifera indica L. ‘Kensington Pride’) were stored at 0, 5, 10, 15 or 20°C for 1, 3, 7, 14, 21 or 28 d to induce different levels of chilling injury (CI) and to elucidate its relationship with aroma volatile production. The fruit were removed from storage and allowed to ripen at 22 ± 1°C and CI index was assessed on fully ripe fruit. Aroma volatile compounds were estimated from the pulp of fully ripe fruit. CI index significantly increased as the storage temperature was lowered and the storage period was extended, particularly in the fruit stored at 0, 5 or 10°C. CI symptoms did not develop on fruit stored at 15 or 20°C. Fifty-six aroma volatile compounds were identified from mango fruit pulp using headspace solid phase microextraction (SPME) technique with gas chromatography (GC-FID) and GC combined with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Among the 56 aroma volatile compounds, 25 were quantified using GC, which included monoterpenes (±-pinene, ²-pinene, myrcene, 2-carene, ±-phellandrene, 3-carene, ±-terpinene, limonene, ocimine, ³-terpinene, ±-terpinolene, and a-terpineol), sesquiterpenes (±-copaene, ±-gurjunene, trans-carophyllene, aromadendrane, ±-humulene, alloaromadendrane, ³-gurjunene, and ledene), hydrocarbon (p-cymene), esters (methyl octanoate and ethyl caprylate), aldehyde (decanal), and norisoprenoid (²-ionone). A significant reduction in total aroma volatiles, monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, hydrocarbon, esters, aldehyde, and norisoprenoid production were observed in fruit stored at 0, 5, 10 or 15°C compared with fruit stored at 20°C. The degree of reduction in aroma volatile compounds depended on the severity of CI, induced with different storage temperatures and storage periods. In conclusion lower temperature storage induced CI in mango fruit and adversely affected the aroma volatiles production.  相似文献

A comparison was made of the response to storage temperatures (0–17°C) of grapefruit ‘Shamouti’ and ‘Valencia’ oranges, and lemon fruit. There was no chilling injury (CI) and the incidence of rot was relatively low at 12°C or higher for all cultivars. At low storage temperatures, however, pitting and subsequent rot development in grapefruit and in ‘Shamouti’ and ‘Valencia’ oranges were highest at 6°C, while in lemon the incidence of these disorders rose with the decrease in storage temperature, and was highest at 2°C. Grapefruit and ‘Shamouti’ oranges exhibited the highest susceptibility to CI, lemon showed an intermediate susceptibility, and ‘Valencia’ orange a very low one. In grapefruit, severe peel pittings that developed in cold storage were covered by mold rots during cold storage and shelf-life, but in ‘Valencia’ and particularly in ‘Shamouti’ oranges the incidence of decay during cold storage was low. During shelf-life, a pronounced CI-induced increase in the incidence of mold rots was evident. This breakdown during shelf-life may be associated with microscopic peel injuries which are formed during cold storage and covered by mold rots during shelf-life. Increased susceptibility of the cultivar to CI could be correlated with an increase in ethanol content at low temperatures.  相似文献

The investigations should purify whether the temperature during apple storage can be increased by application of 1-MCP to decrease energy consumption and costs. The investigations were carried out over 2 years with the following treatments: Year 1: The apple cultivars ‘Elstar, Elshof’ and ‘Gala, Must’ were investigated. For both cultivars 3 different storage temperatures (1, 2 and 4°C) with and without application of 1-MCP were examined. Each temperature and 1-MCP treatment was investigated both under CA-/ULO-conditions with 1.5% O2 and 2% CO2 and in cold storage with normal atmosphere. Year 2: The apple cultivars ‘Jonagold, Jonica’ und ‘Golden Delicious, Weinsberg’ were investigated. For both cultivars 3 different storage temperatures (1, 2 and 4°C) with and without application of 1-MCP were examined. Each temperature and 1-MCP treatment was investigated both under CA-/ULO-conditions with 1.5% O2 and 3% CO2 and in cold storage with normal atmosphere. The influence of temperature, storage atmosphere and 1-MCP application on fruit firmness, soluble dry matter (sugar) and fruit acid was investigated on 6 dates (September to October in the first year) respectively on 5 dates (October to March) during the storage period. Following results were obtained:
  1. In the first year storage temperature did not influence the content of soluble dry matter of both cultivars. Application of 1-MCP led to a less decomposition of soluble dry matter. In the second year the content of soluble dry matter decreased slightly with increasing temperatures. A clear positive effect of 1-MCP-application was not noticeable. Altogether an increase of storage temperature has no or only a small influence of the content of soluble dry matter. 1-MCP can slow down the decomposition of soluble dry matter.
  2. An increase of storage temperature had no or only a small influence of fruit firmness. With increasing storage temperature fruit firmness decreased slightly.1-MCP application led to a higher fruit firmness, especially during cold storage in normal atmosphere. In both years all cultivars showed a same or higher fruit firmness at 4°C with 1-MCP application under CA-/ULO-conditions as at 1°C without 1-MCP application under CA-/ULO-conditions.
  3. An increase of storage temperature had no or only a small influence of the content of fruit acid.1-MCP application under CA-/ULO-conditions reduced the decomposition of fruit acid. In both years usually all cultivars showed a same or higher content of fruit acid at 4°C with 1-MCP application under CA-/ULO-conditions as at 1°C without 1-MCP application under CA-/ULO-conditions.
The results show that an increasing of storage temperature under CA-/ULO-conditions and with 1-MCP application has no negative influence on fruit quality in comparison to fruits which were stored under CA-/ULO-conditions at low temperatures without 1-MCP application.  相似文献

Rooting of carnation cuttings was promoted by storage temperatures above 0°C with an inverse relationship between the level of temperature and the duration of the treatment. The effect of temperature on root dry weight was far more important than the effect of duration of storage. A long storage and a high temperature increased the incidence of Fusarium. Storage at temperatures lower than 13°C gave better results with auxin applied after storage, while temperatures higher than 13°C gave better results with a pre-treatment of auxin. During storage for 14 days at 9°C, the position of the cuttings had no clear effect on rooting. Horizontal storage, however, appeared to be unfavourable. Removal of 0.5 cm of the base of the stem after storage nullified the storage effect. Carbohydrates in the removed pieces decreased during storage, more so at 13°C than at 0°C. Anatomically, an acceleration of cell division at the base of the cutting was observed during storage at 9°C as compared to 0°C.At a commercial nursery, storage of cuttings for 12 days at 14°C improved rooting by 84% compared to storage at 0°C. The presented technique tends to shorten the expensive and vulnerable period from planting to rooting.  相似文献

In four successive seasons. Cox’s Orange Pippin apples were picked at weekly intervals and stored under various conditions to assess the effect of time of picking on wastage from different causes.

Mean fruit weight increased by up to 20% over the 6 to 10 weeks of the picking periods.

The maturity of the fruit when picked was assessed by following the respiration pattern of samples kept at 12°C.

The results for successive pickings of fruit kept at 37°-38° F. (2.8°-3 ·3° C.) (normal cold storage temperature for Cox) and all removed from store at the same time, showed more core flush in early-picked apples, and more senescent breakdown and rotting in late-picked apples. There was no sudden change in liability to any of these disorders which could be associated with any particular stage of maturity. There were no consistent effects of time of picking on the amount of bitter pit or on weight loss during storage.

Storage at 32° F. (o° C.) (below the recommended temperature for the storage of Cox’s Orange Pippin) resulted in low temperature breakdown. This disorder tended to be less severe in apples picked just before the climacteric rise in respiration rate.

It is concluded that, for any particular orchard, picking date should be based not only on maturity as judged by colour and size, but on the expected liability of the fruit to disorders, such as core flush and rotting due to Gloeosporium, and on the type and period of storage required.  相似文献

Summary

The effects of storage temperature on quality and physiological responses in Chinese bayberry fruit (Myrica rubra Sieb. and Zucc. cv. Wumei) were investigated. Freshly harvested bayberries were stored at 20°C, 10°C, or 1°C for 60 h, 5 d, or 14 d, respectively. The rates of respiration and ethylene production, fruit firmness, total sugars, organic acids, and total soluble solids (TSS) contents, total titratable acidity (TA), pH, relative electrical conductivity (REC), and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity of fruit were measured during storage. The results showed that the rates of respiration and ethylene production decreased during storage, and that their values were lowered significantly by decreasing the storage temperature. Low temperatures maintained higher TSS contents, TA, and fruit firmness and inhibited any increases in pH, REC, and PPO activity in bayberry fruit. There was a significant decline in citric acid and sucrose contents during storage, with a more rapid decrease occurring at higher temperatures. The data obtained indicate that cold storage is an effective way to maintain quality and chemical components in Chinese bayberry fruit.  相似文献

Summary

Plums (Prunus salicina cv. Songold) were cold stored according to a single-temperature regime comprising 28 d at ?0.5°C, and a dual-temperature regime comprising 10 d at ?0.5°C followed by 18 d at 7.2°C. After cold storage, the plums were ripened for 8 d at 10°C. Pectolytic enzyme activity, pectic composition, internal conductivity and gel breakdown were determined at seven stages during storage and ripening. Although not exposed to chilling temperatures prior to harvest, approximately 10% of the plums exhibited gel breakdown at harvest, indicating that the disorder cannot be classified solely as a cold-storage chilling disorder. The higher temperatures of the dual-temperature regime resulted in higher polygalacturonase activity than with the single-temperature fruit. Consequently, protopectin degradation and the concomitant production of water- soluble pectins were greater in the dual-temperature fruit. Single-temperature storage resulted in higher pectinmethylesterase activity during the latter stages of storage and during ripening. Increases in temperature after 10 d and 28 d in dual- and single- temperature fruit, respectively, were associated with significant increases in the viscosity of water-soluble pectins, internal conductivity and gel breakdown. The significant positive correlation between internal conductivity and gel breakdown suggested that membrane integrity is closely associated with development of gel breakdown.  相似文献

Summary

`Huangjin' peaches (Prunus persica Batsch) were harvested at commercial harvest time (commercial) and 20 d before (early) or after (later) commercial harvest. Fruit from each harvest were stored at three temperature regimes (0, 5 and 10°C) at 95% r.h. After four weeks of storage at 0 or 5°C, early harvested fruit developed more leatheriness but less mealiness and later harvested fruit did not develop leatheriness but developed more mealiness comparedwith fruit from commercial harvest. Overall, fruit stored at 5°C developed more mealiness but less leatheriness than fruitat 0°C for the same period of storage. When stored at 10°C for two weeks, after which fruit were senescent, fruit did not develop any leatheriness or mealiness regardless of harvest times. Fruit with leatheriness were firmer (>30 N) thanjuicy or mealy fruit (<10 N) after the same period of cold storage and 4 d at 20°C. Mealy fruit were as soft as juicy fruit. 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate oxidase (ACO) activity, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) content, and polygalacturonase (PG) and galactosidase (GAL) activities were lower, and insoluble pectin content was higher in leathery fruit than that in juicy or mealy fruit. ACO, PG and GAL activity, ACC, and insoluble pectin content were similar between mealy and juicy fruit.  相似文献

Summary

‘Anjou’ pears were harvested from the Mid-Columbia Experiment Station, Hood River, Oregon, at 67 N firmness, stored at –1° or 20°C for 85 d and periodically tested for sensitivity to 0 or 500 µl l?1 propylene for at least 14 d at 20°C. Climacteric ethylene of pears stored at 20°C remained at low levels and started rising on the 90th day. Pears chilled at –1°C required 70 d to ripen and produced climacteric ethylene immediately upon transfer to 20°C. The sensitivity of the fruit to exogenous propylene increased progressively with storage time at –1°C. However, the non-chilled fruit responded to propylene similarly to freshly harvested fruit during the first 55 d of storage, then similarly to –1°C-stored fruit up to 85 d. Anjou pear ripening events and the sensitivity of the fruit to exogenous propylene developed differently in storage at non-chilling temperature compared with chilling temperature.  相似文献

The fruit characteristics and storage potential of some local and introduced mango cultivars grown in Trinidad were compared. At ambient temperature (28–32°C), fruit could be stored satisfactorily for between 3 and 8 days, after which ripening rapidly occurred. At 14°C, storage life was increased to as much as 18 days (cultivar ‘Graham’). Enclosure of fruits individually in polythene bags increased storage life at either ambient or 14°C temperature, while treatment with 3% Sta-fresh wax increased storage at ambient but not at 14°C. In the case of ‘Doodooth’, which was highly susceptible to anthracnose, treatment of fruit with hot water (52 ± 2°C) containing 500 or 1000 mg l?4 benomyl for 5 min reduced the incidence of disease. Results are discussed in relation to the export potential of mangoes.  相似文献

Reducing ethylene levels around produce delays the senescence of fruit and vegetables and therefore has the potential to reduce the need for refrigeration during transport and storage, which would result in substantial energy savings. In this study four non-climacteric green vegetables were stored at 0, 5, 10, and 20°C in an atmosphere containing 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, and 1.0 μL L?1 ethylene. The results showed that the postharvest life, as determined by consumer acceptance criteria of yellowing for pak choi and broccoli, leaf abscission for mint, and pod softening and chilling injury for green bean, increased as the temperature and ethylene concentration decreased. Regression equations generated from the storage data allowed for the calculation of the temperature and ethylene levels required for any nominated postharvest life. Using a 14-day postharvest life as an example, storage in ethylene at 0.001 μL L?1 would allow a storage temperature of about 10°C for pak choi, broccoli, and mint and about 18°C for green bean, temperatures well above the current recommendations of 0 to 5°C.  相似文献
