Abstract:: ... In Spain and in southern east of Spain in particular, citrus production has predominantly focused on lemon, which is a fruit with great possibilities as a fresh-cut product for use in fruit salads and as garnishes for drinks or cocktails. Lemon slices have good stability during cold storage because of their antioxidant activity. Nevertheless, fresh-cut lemon slices, already present to a limited ex ...

Abstract:: ... An experiment was set up to study the effect of packaging of sapota fruits in polythene bags with ventilation on the postharvest shelf life and quality under low temperature at the Horticultural College and Research Institute, Venkataramannagudem. Mature fruits of ‘Kalipatti’ were stored at 12±1°C (80-85% RH) in LDPE bags with different gauges (100, 200, 300 gauges) and three different ventilation ...

Subject:: antioxidant activity; astringency; carbon dioxide; catechol oxidase; cell walls; cultivars; intercellular spaces; mechanical damage; microstructure; persimmons; tannins
Abstract:: ... Flesh browning caused by mechanical damage is one of the most important disorders during shelf-life of persimmon 'Rojo Brillante', which is an astringent cultivar. Our previous studies have shown that browning manifestation is influenced by the level of astringency of the fruit; the present work studies the implication of polyphenol oxidase activity and total antioxidant capacity. Astringent and n ...

Abstract:: ... Exchange of CO2 in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) leaves was modelled using combined gas diffusion and photosynthesis kinetics in a real 3-D geometric representation of the cellular microstructure, obtained by synchrotron radiation X-ray microtomography. The microscale model for gas exchange accounted for diffusive mass transport of CO2 in the intercellular space (pores), the cell wall network a ...

Abstract:: ... In this work, ‘Rich Lady’ peaches were picked at commercial maturity, stored at 2°C and 92% RH under air or CA (3 kPa O2:10 kPa CO2) for 3 or 15 days, and subsequently kept in air 1 day at 7°C to simulate refrigerated transport. After cold storage, samples were placed at 20°C, and fruit firmness, cell wall composition and some cell wall-degrading enzyme activities were analysed 0 and 3 days therea ...

Subject:: air; carbon dioxide; cell walls; containers; firmness; oxygen; strawberries; taste; weight loss
Abstract:: ... Strawberries were packaged in sealed plastic containers using impermeable polypropylene film and three gas mixtures; 20% O2: 80% N2 (air), 5 % O2: 5% CO2: 90% N2 (high [N2]) and 80% O2: 20% N2 (high [O2]). All MAP regimes dramatically reduced weight loss during storage especially at 4 and 8°C. Overall the fruit subject to high [O2] MAP proved most successful with respect to firmness, cell wall bre ...

Abstract:: ... Storage of fresh horticultural perishables within the optimum range of low oxygen and/or elevated carbon dioxide atmospheres for each commodity reduces their respiration and ethylene production rates. However, outside this range respiration and ethylene production rates can be stimulated indicating a stress response, which can contribute to incidence of physiological disorders and increased suscep ...
