AbstractPeaches are good source of nutrients and known for their taste and aroma. The highly perishable nature of the peaches tends to decay rapidly during transportation and storage is a serious constraint for efficient transportation and storage. Therefore, the effect of arabinoxylan (AX) and β-D-glucan stearic acid ester (SABG) composite coating material was examined for the postharvest storage quality of peach under storage at 22 ± 2 °C with 85% relative humidity (RH). Both, AX-SABG and shellac (1–2%) coatings significantly reduced the change in the quality attributes like weight loss (1.2–1.4 fold), respiration rate (1.1–1.2 fold), ripening index (1.3–1.5 fold) and firmness (1.3–1.5 fold) during 6 days storage as compared to the uncoated peaches. In addition, AX-SABG (1–2%) coating was more effective in retaining aroma volatiles and reducing disease incidence compared to shellac. Further, acute and chronic toxicological studies have shown no tissue related toxicity and mortality in mice. Our results suggest that AX-SABG as an edible coating has the potential to preserve the fruit quality during 6 days storage at 22 ± 2 °C and extend the postharvest shelf life of peach during storage.

The effects of sodium nitroprusside (SNP) treatment on the disease resistance and storage quality of citrus fruits were investigated through inoculation and storage. The results showed that SNP treatment could effectively reduce the disease incidence and lesion diameter of satsuma mandarin inoculated with Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Penz. during storage. Compared with control, weight lose rate degraded, but soluble protein, ascorbic acid (ASA), reducing sugar content and SSC/TA ratio increased in SNP treated fruits. 50 μmol•L-1 SNP treatment had the better effect than 30 and 100 μmol•L-1 SNP treatment.

The effect of different composite coatings on quality of semi-moist apricot cubes mixed with cornflakes was investigated during 180 days of storage. The apricot cubes were osmotically dehydrated (OD) and coated before hot-air drying (HAD) at 60 °C. Chitosan-bees wax (CBW) and whey protein isolate-bees wax-oleic acid (WPI-BW-OA) coatings were applied after HAD and the samples were added to cornflakes. Application of OD and pectin-ascorbic acid (Pec-AA) coating (prior to HAD) and WPI-BW-OA coating (after HAD) led to significant retention of total phenol compounds, β-carotene and antioxidant activity in apricot cubes compared to uncoated and CBW-coated samples. WPI-BW-OA-coated samples gave significantly higher L* values (lighter color) and b* values (more creamy or yellowish color) and lower a* values (less reddish color) and browning values than control followed by CBW-coated apricots at any time of storage (p < 0.05). The rate of apricot moisture loss and cornflakes moisture gain was higher in uncoated apricot cubes, followed by CBW- and WPI-BW-OA-coated samples. Application of WPI-BW-OA coating was effective in retaining the crispness measured by lower firmness (Fmax) values in cornflakes upon storage. Based on the obtained results, WPI-BW-OA coating allowed effectively preserving the quality characteristics of semi-moist apricot cubes and cornflakes components in the mixed state.

Uniform design was adopted, and two factors, i.e., frozen at different time postmortem with six levels, thawing at different thawing rate with three levels, were considered. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), pH and sensory evaluation were measured to study the different effects of the two factors considered. The results showed: All the two factors considered had significant effects on pH and TBARS, and the effects of the two factors on them were nonlinear. But they had no significant effects on sensory evaluation. TBARS values representing the storage quality of raw sausages was only affected by thawing rate in the test, and had the maximum at the thawing rate of 3cm/h thawed in 19.5°C still air. So when using frozen raw meat for sausage production, selecting an appropriate thawing condition is very necessary.

In order to study the effects of Gibberellins (GA3) treatment on fresh-keeping effect and storage quality, provide theoretical foundation for loquat production, the loquat fruit grown in Guangdong Province were separated in groups and dipped in different concentrations (10, 50, 100 μmol/L) of GA3 solution respectively for 20 min, and then stored at a chamber with temperature of 3±0.5°C, relative humidity of 65~80%. The rotten index, flesh hardness, weight-loss ratio, contents of total soluble solids, soluble sugar, titrable acidity and vitamin C were measured periodically. The results show that by GA3 treatment ,the rotten index and flesh firmness of loquat fruit decrease significantly, and storage time of loquat lengthen effectively. It also indicate the content of titrable acidity can be greatly reserved to some extent by 10 μmol/L GA3 treatment, and the loss of vitamin C content drop highly, generating better flavor and quality of loquat fruit.
