黑莓品种'Boysen'鲜果贮藏特性的研究

对黑莓(Rubus spp. )品种'Boysen'不同成熟度(七成熟、八成熟和九成熟)的鲜果在常温(25 ℃)和低温(4 ℃)条件下的贮藏特性进行了研究,对贮藏时间以及贮藏前后果实的感官指标(色泽、香味和霉烂指数)、形态指标(质量和平均果径)及品质指标(可溶性固形物含量、可滴定酸含量、总花色苷含量以及固酸比)进行了比较.结果表明,不同成熟度和贮藏温度对黑莓鲜果的贮藏时间有明显影响,常温条件下九成熟、八成熟和七成熟果实的贮藏时间分别为3、4和5 d,低温条件下则分别为7、9和14 d;果实霉烂指数则随成熟度的提高及贮藏时间的延长不断提高,成熟度或贮藏温度越低(大于0 ℃),霉烂指数越小,果实的贮藏时间就越长;七成熟和八成熟的果实贮藏后色泽加深、香味变浓,而九成熟果实贮藏前后色泽和香味变化不大.采摘时不同成熟度的果实形态指标和品质指标具有一定的差异,其中,果实成熟度越大,果实质量、平均果径、可溶性固形物含量、固酸比及总花色苷含量越高,可滴定酸含量越低.低温及常温下贮藏后果实质量及平均果径、可溶性固形物含量和可滴定酸含量均不同程度减少,而固酸比和总花色苷含量均不同程度提高,但在低温贮藏条件下各项指标的变化幅度明显小于常温.总体上,在低温条件下,八成熟果实的霉烂指数低,贮藏时间较长,贮藏后的果实质量和平均果径变化幅度小,可溶性固形物含量、可滴定酸含量和总花色苷含量以及固酸比逐渐接近九成熟果实,果实品质提高.因而,在实际生产中宜采收八成熟果实并在4 ℃条件下贮藏和运输,能较好地保持黑莓鲜果的品质.     

果实采收前套袋对湖景蜜露桃果实品质的影响

研究了光对湖景蜜露桃果实成熟的影响。用1层、2层和3层橘黄色果袋（透光率分别为27．0％、13．9％和8．2％）为完全花后（DAFB）50d的果实套袋。分别在111、114、117、120DAFB（果实硬熟期）和124DAFB（果实完熟期）测定乙烯、呼吸速率和果实品质。套1层和3层袋的果实乙烯生成速率高于其他处理。111和114DAFB时,未套袋果实呼吸速率最高,其余测定期1层套袋果实最低。完熟期未套袋果实￡值较高,而色角ho值较低。果实硬熟期前未套袋果实硬度高于套袋果实,完熟期则是套3层袋果实较高。完熟期套1层袋果实TSS高于其他果实。套1层袋果实分别在硬熟期和完熟期生成了最高量的内脂类物质和γ-癸内酯。根据以上结果可以认为完全花后50d左右,用一层橘黄色果袋为果实套袋,可以生产具有丰富桃香气的高品质桃果实。适当的光照强度明显增加了桃果实果香型香气物质,尤其是γ-癸内酯的合成。     

1-MCP对室温贮藏下不同成熟度猕猴桃的生理效应

以适期采收(成熟度Ⅰ)和晚采收(成熟度Ⅱ)的'海沃德'猕猴桃果实为材料,研究0.5 μL·L~(-1) 1-甲基环丙烯(1-MCP)处理对室温贮藏(20℃)条件下两种果实的生理生化指标的影响.结果显示:1-甲基环丙烯(1-MCP)处理能有效延缓贮藏期间两种成熟度果实的硬度、可滴定酸含量、维生素C含量的下降,显著降低二者的乙烯释放速率和呼吸强度及其峰值,提高果实的POD、CAT和SOD活性.与成熟度Ⅰ相比,成熟度Ⅱ果实的硬度下降较快,且丙二醛含量和呼吸速率却明显较高,呼吸速率和乙烯释放量高峰时间相对提前.研究表明,在相同的贮藏条件下,晚采收的'海沃德'猕猴桃果实成熟衰老进程明显快于适期采收果实,贮藏效果较差;1-MCP能够明显延长猕猴桃果实的贮藏时间,表现出显著的保鲜效果.     

不同后熟期‘菊水’梨果实对外源乙烯和1-MCP处理的生理响应

用80uL·L-1外源乙烯和1.0 uL·L-11-甲基环丙烯(1-MCP)处理不同后熟期'菊水'梨果实,分析处理后果实品质和生理指标在(25±1)℃贮藏温度下的变化特征.结果显示:在采收当天(采后0 d)和呼吸跃变初期(采后4 d),外源乙烯处理能明显促进果实硬度和可溶性同形物含量(SSC)的下降,降低活性氧清除酶(SOD、CAT和APX)的活性,提高呼吸速率和乙烯释放速率,促进果实后熟,1-MCP处理却表现出与乙烯相反的效应,且采收当天比呼吸跃变初期的作用效果更明显;在呼吸跃变中期(采后12 d),外源乙烯和1-MCP处理效果均不明显.研究发现,外源乙烯能促进果实后熟而1-MCP却抑制果实后熟,其效果因处理果实后熟期的不同而存在显著差异,果实后熟程度越高,其处理的效果越不明显.     

采收期对猕猴桃果实品质及其耐贮性的影响

选用海沃德猕猴桃为试验材料,对8个不同采收期(盛花后151、155、159、163、167、171、175和179 d,采收Ⅰ~Ⅷ期)猕猴桃果实在(0±1)℃冷藏过程中的生理生化变化进行比较.结果显示:(1)采收Ⅰ、Ⅱ期果实采收时具有较高的硬度、淀粉含量和可滴定酸含量,可溶性固形物含量则低于6%,贮藏期间出现的呼吸高峰和乙烯释放高峰均比其它采收期高;采收Ⅶ、Ⅷ期果实采收时硬度明显低于前面的采收期,淀粉含量和可滴定酸含量降低,可溶性固形物含量达到8%以上,贮藏期间乙烯释放速率高峰比其它采收期提前10 d,果实衰老过程明显提前;(2)入贮150 d后,采收Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅶ和Ⅷ期果实的失重率差异不显著,采收Ⅰ期与采收Ⅷ期果实的腐烂率差异不显著,但均与其它采收期存在显著差异.研究发现,盛花后第159~171天采收猕猴桃,果实采收时的可溶性固形物含量在6.5%以上,贮藏120 d后与其它采收期相比仍保持相对较高的硬度、淀粉含量、Vc含量和可滴定酸含量,而且贮藏150 d后失重率和腐烂率都比较低,表明该期间为海沃德"猕猴桃的适宜采收期.     

香蕉果实后熟过程中果肉软化差异的研究

对香蕉果实贮藏过程中内、外果肉相关生理生化指标及细胞结构的变化进行系统的观察分析,结果显示:(1)在贮藏初期香蕉果实内果肉的硬度小于外果肉,在贮藏过程中的同一时期,均表现出内果肉硬度小于外果肉,且内果肉硬度较外果肉先降到零;(2)在贮藏初期内果肉中多聚乳糖醛酸酶(PG)和淀粉酶的活性均高于外果肉,随着贮藏时间的延长,酶活性在内、外果肉均表现出不断增加,且这两种酶活性在内果肉中早于外果肉达到最高值,但其在内果肉中的最高值均略低于外果肉的最高值;而淀粉含量却相反,在贮藏初期内果肉中淀粉含量低于外果肉,且在贮藏过程中的降解速率高于外果肉;(3)超微结构显示,香蕉果实内果肉中淀粉粒和细胞壁结构的降解均早于外果肉.研究表明,香蕉果实的软化首先由内果肉细胞降解开始,并呈放射状向外逐步延伸.     

乙烯利对番茄及西瓜的催熟作用

乙烯利(2-氯乙基磷酸)对番茄果实有明显的催熟作用。不管是在植株上喷洒处理,或采收后浸果处理均属有效。采收后浸果处理的浓度,可以从1000—4000ppm,浸果处理时药液温度(20℃及30℃)对催熟的效果影响不大。但在浸果后,要在较高的温度(22—25℃)下,才能获得预期的催熟效果。采收前植株喷洒乙烯利,浓度从500—2000ppm可以提早红熟6—8天,增加红熟果实的早期产量,但对总产量影响不大。这种对产量的一时的增加,主要是增加红熟果实数而不是单果重。在成熟过程中,可溶性固形物变异不大。而可滴定酸度则迅速降低。乙烯利处理对这两种物质的含量只有少量的增加。西瓜在采收前用乙烯利喷果处理,浓度100—500ppm,可提早成熟5—7天,及增加果汁中可溶性固形物的含量。乙烯利处理对果肉各部位的可溶性固形物含量,都比不处理的有相应的增加。     

采收期和贮藏温度对金艳猕猴桃品质的影响

研究了金艳猕猴桃(Actinidia chinensis ×A. eriantha) 4个不同采收期(Ⅰ~Ⅳ)在常温[(23±1)℃]贮藏60 d,以及低温(4℃)贮藏2、4、6月后常温货架14 d内果实品质和果肉色彩的变化。结果表明：采收期Ⅰ和Ⅳ的果实在常温贮藏过程中呼吸高峰出现早、失重快,可滴定酸(TA)、维生素C(Vc)含量和果肉硬度迅速下降;而采收期Ⅱ和Ⅲ的果实呼吸高峰出现晚,保持了较高的TA、Vc含量和果肉硬度。4个采收期猕猴桃果实在常温贮藏期间,果实亮度L*、色度C*和色彩角h显著降低;而在低温贮藏后常温货架期间,果实色彩角h相对于亮度L*和色度C*变化更加明显。研究表明,采收期Ⅱ和Ⅲ为金艳猕猴桃的适宜采收期,色彩角h可以作为适宜的指标反映猕猴桃果实的后熟与衰老,而低温贮藏6个月金艳猕猴桃仍能保持较好的食用品质和色彩。     

采收期对青皮核桃果实生理特性与耐贮性的影响

以‘中林5号’(早熟)、‘辽宁4号’(中熟)、‘西扶1号’(中晚熟)青皮核桃果实为试材,于8月上、中、下旬3个采收期采果,在0~1℃冷藏过程中测定贮期生理指标和保鲜效应。结果显示:(1)各采收期和各品种果实呼吸强度(RI)均呈双峰型变化;8月中旬采收的果实呼吸峰出现较早,其纤维素酶(Cx)活性较另2个采收期多1个高峰;多聚半乳糖醛酸酶(PG)活性增强最早,其贮后核仁酸价上升幅度最大,果实腐烂最快。(2)8月下旬同期采收的3个品种果实的贮期各生理指标变化趋于一致;贮藏54d时,果实腐烂率依次为‘辽宁4号’>‘中林5号’>‘西扶1号’。(3)‘辽宁4号’核仁可溶性蛋白质含量越高,贮后下降率最大。研究表明,青皮核桃果实采后生理代谢活性与耐贮性主要与采收时期有关,受品种影响较小,且8月中旬采收的果实采后生理代谢旺盛,耐贮藏性均最差;‘辽宁4号’果实在各采收期的耐贮性均小于其他品种果实。     

采前壳寡糖处理对杏果实黑斑病的抗性诱导

以新疆赛买提杏为试验材料,分别在果实坐果期、膨大期、转色期及采收前48h,采用分子量为5 000、浓度为0.05%的壳寡糖(GOS)溶液对杏果实进行喷施处理,以喷施清水为对照(CK);采收后的杏果实在机械损伤接种链格孢菌后置于4℃、相对湿度90%~95%的条件下贮藏,定期统计接种链格孢菌杏果实的病斑直径和发病率,测定抗病相关酶苯丙氨酸解氨酶(PAL)、β-1,3-葡聚糖酶(GLU)和几丁质酶(CHT)的活性及木质素、富含羟脯氨酸糖蛋白(HRGP)的含量,探讨采前壳寡糖处理对杏果实黑斑病的抗性诱导及其生理机制。结果显示,贮藏结束时,采前壳寡糖处理的果实发病率与病斑直径分别比对照显著降低了16.37%和17.57%。随着贮藏期间的延长,壳寡糖处理杏果实PAL、GLU、CHT的活性和木质素、HRGP的含量均表现出先上升后下降的变化趋势,且始终显著高于同期对照,并分别在接种后第21、28、21、28和14天达到峰值,峰值比同期对照分别显著提高12.17%、78.22%、31.41%、34.81%和77.44%。研究表明,采前壳寡糖处理能通过诱导提高杏果实病程相关蛋白及细胞壁HRGP和木质素的含量来增强杏果实对黑斑病的抗性。     

Light-induced postharvest regreening of pummelo fruit*

Regreening was observed and measured in harvested pummelo fruit stored in the light. At temperatures of 22 - 28°C, regular daylight was sufficient for regreening to occur. The addition of continuous fluorescent light intensified the process. Pre-stored fruit held in darkness at 11°C and non-stored fruit responded to both light conditions in a similar manner. Electron microscopy has shown that globular chromoplasts revert to chloroplasts during regreening. The similarities between regreening processes in preharvest and postharvest fruits are discussed.     

超低氧处理对贮藏期间甜橙果实挥发性物质含量的影响

本文主要探讨甜橙［(Citrus sinensis (L.) Osb.］果实在短期超低氧贮藏条件下,果皮和果汁中乙醇和乙醛等挥发性物质的含量,以及它们在不同贮藏温度和货架存放期间的变化和对果实风味品质的影响。在普通冷藏条件下,随着贮藏期的延长,甜橙果实中挥发性物质的含量虽呈上升趋势,但超低氧贮藏更明显地刺激果实中乙醇和乙醛含量的迅速增加。甜橙果实在0.3% O2的超低氧条件下贮藏30 d,果皮中乙醇的含量为519.8　μg/kg,果汁中达1547.1　μg/kg,比普通冷藏的果实高83倍,乙醛的含量较对照果实高6～7倍。低氧处理对果实可溶性固形物,可滴定酸和pH值的影响不大。甜橙果汁中乙醇含量在1000 μg/kg以下时果实的风味品质仍在正常范围之内。结果表明对甜橙果实进行短期（<20 d）的超低氧处理是可行的。     

Ethylene action blockade and cold storage affect ripening of ‘Golden’ papaya fruit

The purpose of this work was to evaluate the effects of ethylene action blockade and cold storage on the ripening of ‘Golden’ papaya fruit. Papayas harvested at maturity stage 1 (up to 15% yellow skin) were evaluated. Half of the fruits, whether treated or not treated with 100 nL L⁻¹ of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), were stored at 23°C, while the other half were stored at 11°C for 20 days prior to being stored at 23°C. Non-refrigerated fruits receiving 1-MCP application presented a reduction in respiratory activity, ethylene production, skin color development and pectinmethylesterase activity. Even with a gradual increase in ethylene production at 23°C, fruits treated with 1-MCP maintained a high firmness, but presented a loss of green skin color. Cold storage caused a decrease in ethylene production when fruits were transferred to 23°C. The results suggest that pulp softening is more dependent on ethylene than skin color development, and that some processes responsible for loss of firmness do not depend on ethylene.     

Changes in the level of endogenous cytokinin-like substances in Acer pseudoplatanus embryos during stratification and germination

The bioassay used to detect and quantify cytokinin activity was the Amaranthus test. Free cytokinin-like substances in embryos of Acer pseudoplatanus L. fruits increased during the first 20 d of fruit stratification at 5°C, but subsequently fell rapidly to values well below the amounts present in the embryos of freshly harvested fruits. These lower levels persisted throughout the remainder of a 60 d stratification period. Bound cytokinins fell during stratification from the highest detected levels present in freshly harvested material to values which were lower by about one third. No peaks of bound cytokinin activity were detected at any stage during stratification. In embryos from fruits stored at 17°C and unable to germinate, both free and bound cytokinins remained at a very low level throughout the 60 d period. Embryos from fruits previously stratified for 60 d showed increases in both free and bound cytokinins during the first 24 h of their incubation at 20°C in light, but after longer incubation periods up to 72 h, cytokinin concentrations decreased again to levels similar to those present at the commencement of the incubation period. Determinations conducted in 1979 and 1980 showed quantitative differences, but similar qualitative changes were observed in the two years. Most of the cytokinin activity was associated with compound(s) that co-chromatographed with zeatin and zeatin riboside.     

挥发性香气物质和乙烯生产在"湖景蜜露"桃果实发育过程中的变化

以"湖景蜜露"水蜜桃(Prunus persica L.)为试材,检测了果实从未成熟到成熟发育过程中乙烯生成、呼吸速率及挥发性香气性物质的变化;同时对果实大小、果皮色泽、果肉硬度、可溶性固形物、可滴定酸进行了测定;对与果实乙烯产生密切相关的1-氨基环丙烷-1-羧酸(ACC)含量、ACC合成酶活性、ACC氧化酶活性也进行了测定.结果表明,随果实成熟度的增加,果实大小、果皮L*值、可溶性固形物含量增加,而果实硬度、果皮h°值、可滴定酸含量减少.在未成熟的果实中,C6的醛类(反式-2-己烯醛)和醇类(顺式-3-己烯醇)是主要的成分;乙烯生成量很低;呼吸速率较高.到跃变阶段C6～C12的内酯类物质明显增加,尤其是γ和δ-内酯类成为果实主要的香气挥发性物质.推测果实乙烯、呼吸作用等基本的生理变化可能调节着内酯类物质的生成.在乙烯跃变上升时果肉中ACC氧化酶的活性下降,ACC含量和ACC合成酶活力的变化与乙烯生成量变化的趋势一致.根据以上结果可以认为桃果实主要的香气挥发性物质的形成与乙烯、呼吸跃变的开始密切相关.香气物质形成速率动态变化可能是桃果实发育过程中成熟度的另一个生理学指标.     

Changes in carotenoid and chlorophyll content of black tomatoes (Lycopersicone sculentum L.) during storage at various temperatures

Black tomatoes have a unique color and higher lycopene content than typical red tomatoes. Here, black tomatoes were investigated how maturation stage and storage temperature affected carotenoid and chlorophyll accumulation. Immature fruits were firmer than mature fruits, but failed to develop their distinctive color and contained less lycopene when stored at 8 °C. Hunter a^* values of black tomatoes increased with storage temperature and duration; storage of immature fruits at high temperature favored lycopene accumulation. Chlorophyll levels of black tomatoes declined during storage, but differences between mature and immature tomatoes stored at 12 °C were minimal. β-Carotene levels of black tomatoes increased during early storage, but rapidly declined beginning 13 d post-harvest. The highest lycopene and chlorophyll levels were observed in mature black tomatoes stored at 12 °C for 13 d; these conditions also yielded the best quality fruit. Thus, the unique pigmentation properties of black tomatoes can be precisely controlled by standardizing storage conditions.     

Possible Mechanism of the Detached Unripe Green Tomato Fruit Turning Red

In general, a mature green tomato will ripen and turn red on the vine or off the vine. Interestingly, an unripe green (UG) tomato also will turn red after being detached from the plant, but the mechanism behind this is unclear. Our study showed that detached UG fruits were able to become red-ripened at the room temperature (25?°C), although fruit quality was lower than that of the vine-ripened fruit. In addition, detached UG fruits exposed to light accumulated more lycopene and total soluble sugars than those incubated in darkness. When the detached UG fruits were stored at a low temperature (10?°C), the fruit-ripening process was nearly blocked, which displayed a non-ripening phenotype. At a high temperature (35?°C), the detached UG fruit showed a yellow-color on ripening, and fruit qualities such as lycopene and soluble sugars were obviously lower than those stored at 25?°C. Moreover, detaching the UG fruit from the plant evoked a rapid increase in total respiration as well as alternative pathway respiration, but ethylene production was not stimulated during the first 24 h of storage. Importantly, the application of nPG, an inhibitor of alternative pathway respiration, markedly suppressed the wound-induced rise in total respiration and delayed the ripening of detached UG fruit. These findings imply that wound-induced respiration might be a signature for launching the onset of the ripening of detached UG fruit, and the optimal conditions of light and temperature are beneficial for the color change and the ripening processes.     

Light and storage time influence the microbial quality of minimally processed rocket

Ready-to-eat minimally processed fruits and vegetables are an ideal substrate for the growth of microorganisms, including human pathogens and mycotoxin-producing species, which question their quality and safety for customers. While we are aware of the importance of production workflows in structuring the products' microbial communities, we still know little about the factors that shape microbiomes during the timeframe products are available to customers, and beyond this timeframe. Here, we study the influence of storage light condition (light or dark) on microbiological and physico-chemical parameters of minimally processed rocket leaves at different shelf life timepoints (the day the product becomes available to consumers, expiration date, 3 days after the expiration date). Our results suggest that the total microbial load increases from the day the product becomes available to consumers, to the expiry date and after the product's expiration. However, when studying the composition of the fungal microbiome, we did not observe significant changes in its structure as the effect of product shelf life or storage light condition. We also found that products stored under light condition had a higher total bacterial load compared to those stored in darkness. Our results might be helpful in crafting improved workflows for product's storage during its shelf life, which might ultimately lead to a re-evaluation of storage times resulting in reduced food waste due to product spoilage or expiration.     

Variation in fatty acid composition of apples in relation to soft scald

The distribution of fatty acids within individual fruits was uneven early in storage. When soft scald developed in the fruit, the affected tissue contained less linoleic acid than sound tissue. Differences in fatty acid composition were also found between freshly harvested fruit from different trees within an orchard. Apples that were stored at O° had a low linoleic acid content during the early weeks of storage when the fruit are susceptible to the disorder but the content then increased substantially during subsequent storage. It seems that a low linoleic acid content renders the fruit more susceptible to soft scald.
