The effects of hot water treatments on antioxidant responses in red sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) fruit during cold storage were investigated. Red sweet pepper fruits were treated with hot water at 55 °C for 1 (HWT-1 min), 3 (HWT-3 min), and 5 min (HWT-5 min) and stored at 10 °C for 4 weeks. The results indicated that HWT-1 min fruit showed less development of chilling injury (CI), electrolyte leakage, and weight loss. Excessive hot water treatment (3 and 5 min) caused cellular damage. Moreover, HWT-1 min slowed the production of hydrogen peroxide and malondialdehyde and promoted the ascorbate and glutathione contents for the duration of cold storage as compared to HWT-3 min, HWT-5 min, and control. HWT-1 min enhanced the ascorbate-glutathione cycle associated with ascorbate peroxidase, monodehydroascorbate reductase, dehydroascorbate reductase, and glutathione reductase, but it was less effective in simulating catalase activity. Thus, HWT-1 min could induce CI tolerance in red sweet pepper fruit by activating the ascorbate-glutathione cycle via the increased activity of related enzymes and the enhanced antioxidant level.

Strawberry is a nutritious, but highly perishable fruit. Three polysaccharide-based edible coatings (alginate, chitosan, and pullulan) were applied to postharvest strawberry fruit during cold storage (4°C), and their effects on fruit quality and antioxidant enzyme system were investigated in the present study. The results showed that polysaccharide coatings showed a significant delay in fruit softening and rot and reduced changes in total soluble solid and titratable acidity content during 16 d storage. Polysaccharide coatings also maintained higher ascorbic acid and total phenolic contents than control from day 2 and significantly inhibited fruit decay and respiration after 12 d storage (p<0.05). Polysaccharide treatments enhanced the activities of antioxidant enzymes (peroxidase, catalase, superoxide dismutase, and ascorbate peroxidase) so as to prevent lipid peroxidation and reduce membrane damage. Additionally, chitosan coating had the most positive effects on fruit quality amongst three polysaccharide-based edible coatings and presented the highest relative activities of antioxidant enzymes. These results indicated that polysaccharide-based edible coatings were helpful in postharvest quality maintenance of strawberry fruit.

Immersion of maiden apple root stocks (East Malling VII and IX) in water at 115°–116°F. for 30 minutes killed Pratylenchus penetrans, (Cobb, 1917), Filip. & Stek., 1941, within the roots. Damage to the plants was reduced or prevented by cooling in tap water immediately after treatment. The nematodes were killed more rapidly at higher temperatures, but the plants were more easily damaged. Older plants with larger root systems required longer treatment. Plants treated immediately before planting suffered more injury than those taken from cold storage at 34°–38°F. for treatment in January and returned to cold storage until planting time in late March.
