Diospyros kaki; astringency; carbon dioxide; cultivars; fruit quality; mechanical damage; packaging; persimmons; postharvest injuries; postharvest treatment; shelf life; tannins; texture
Abstract:
... The production of 'Rojo Brillante' persimmon, an astringent cultivar, has increased significantly during the last few years. Nowadays, the application of high carbon dioxide is the method used to remove astringency. It allows to commercialize fruit with crisp texture. Browning of flesh fruit during shelf-life is one of the major causes of losses to the industry. The influence of postharvest manage ...

Abstract:
... Persimmon trees (Diospyros kaki) belongs to the so-called group of minor fruit tree species. The main persimmon cultivar grown in Spain is 'Rojo Brillante', which produces an astringent fruit. This implies the need of deastringency post-harvest treatments prior commercialization. Persimmon growing in Spain is concentrated in an area of water scarcity, but there is no information about tree water n ...

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 ...

Subject:
acetaldehyde; agronomic traits; astringency; carbon dioxide; color; cultivars; firmness; fruit quality; persimmons; ripening; risk; storage quality; tannins; total soluble solids; Spain
Abstract:
... In Spain the persimmon production is based on the cultivar ‘Rojo Brillante’ which is astringent at harvest (PVA type). The application of postharvest CO2-treatments that allow removing the astringency while preserving the firmness has been the main factor for the important expansion of persimmon crop in the last decades. Relying the crop only on one cultivar implied agronomic and commercial risks, ...

5. Influence of the level of astringency in the incidence of flesh browning disorder in persimmon

ISSN:

Subject:
astringency; carbon dioxide; commercialization; marketing; mechanical damage; persimmons; tannins; texture
Abstract:
... ‘Rojo Brillante’ persimmons are astringent at harvest due to their high content of soluble tannins. In order to commercialize fruit with crisp texture, ‘Rojo Brillante’ persimmons are routinely subjected to deastringency treatments with high concentrations of CO2 which leads to tannins insolubilization and loss of astringency. External flesh browning is one of the major disorders that limit the ma ...

Abstract:
... Flesh browning is one of the most important disorders in the commercialisation of ‘Rojo Brillante’ persimmons. Mechanical damage on the packaging line has been found to be the main cause of this disorder. However the form of the tannins, that is in their soluble or insoluble-form, affects the incidence of flesh browning. ‘Rojo Brillante’ contains a high content of soluble tannins at harvest which ...
