“…From this time, pulp firmness values were very low (below 2 N) for both control and treated peaches and nectarines. Preharvest calcium treatment of trees has also been useful in delaying pear and apple softening during storage,20–30 as has postharvest calcium‐infiltrated treatment of many other fruits 31–34. The mechanism by which Ca 2+ reduces the rate of softening is still unclear, and several hypotheses have been postulated.…”

Peach and nectarine trees were foliar sprayed with a formulation containing Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ and Ti 4+ . Parameters related to fruit quality were evaluated at harvest, after 7-28 days of cold storage and after subsequent ripening for 4 days at 20 • C (shelf life). At harvest, treated fruits from both cultivars had higher weight and pulp firmness than control fruits, while no effect was observed for either colour, total soluble solid content (TSS) and titratable acidity (TA) or the time required to ripen on the tree. During cold storage, lower levels of weight loss, colour evolution, TSS/TA ratio and ethylene production and higher pulp firmness were found in treated peaches and nectarines compared with control fruits. Also, the storability of treated fruits was extended for up to 14 days more than that of control fruits. During ripening at 20 • C after different periods of cold storage, parameters related to ripening evolved faster in control than in treated fruits. Also, the occurrence of the climacteric peak of ethylene production was delayed and its intensity was lower in treated peaches and nectarines than in controls.

“…Spm or Spd treatment retarded softening of apple 37 and strawberry fruits 61 . Exogenously applied Put resulted in a reduction of mechanical damage and an increase in firmness of lemon 48 , apricot 49 and plum 59 . Polyamines added exogenously reduced or delayed browning, peroxide level and ethylene production, coupled with elevated levels of polyamines in litchi fruits stored at 5 o C 32 .…”

Polyamines, including putrescine (Put), spermidine (Spd) and spermine (Spm), are polycationic compounds of low molecular weight that are widely distributed in living organisms. They are implicated in a variety of plant processes, such as floral and fruit development. In addition, correlation between polyamines and flower gender or fertility is reported in some plant species. Since polyamines, especially Spd and Spm share a common precursor, S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), with ethylene, they demonstrated competitive effects on functions in fruit development and ripening in many plants. Exogenous polyamines have been employed to regulate floral and fruit development and ripening in a lot of plants. Besides, polyamines have shown their potential for postharvest fruit management. Therefore, in this review, we focused on the involvement of polyamines in floral and fruit development along with perspectives of polyamine research.

“…Pre-harvest treatment of salicylic acid reduced post-harvest chilling injury and fungal diseases in melon [87], mango [88], and apple [63]. On the other hand, putrescine reduced ABA concentration and fruit senescence [29], and led to increased fruit firmness and reduced post-harvest mechanical damages and decay in lemon [28]. Putrescine has also enhanced fruit resistance to chilling injury and decay, and prolonged the storage period of peach [68] and pear [70].…”

Salicylic Acid and Putrescine to Reduce Post-Harvest Storage Problems and Maintain Quality of Murcott Mandarin Fruit

2020

Natural products have been used to improve citrus fruit quality and storability, which increase the fruit marketing period and exportation to distant markets. This study was conducted to evaluate the role of salicylic acid and putrescine on reducing post-harvest loss and maintaining the quality of stored Murcott mandarin. Fruit were harvested at 297–300 days from full bloom, and five 5-min dipping treatments were applied; salicylic acid (200 and 400 ppm), putrescine (50 and 100 ppm), and the control. One group of fruit was stored at 5 ± 1 °C and 90–95% relative humidity (RH), and the other group was stored at 23 ± 1 °C and 60–70% RH for 45 days. Quality attributes were recorded at harvest, 15, 30, and 45 days of storage. Weight loss and decay were significantly decreased with the application of salicylic acid and putrescine. Both materials were also effective maintaining fruit firmness, total soluble solids (TSS), acidity, TSS: acid ratio, and ascorbic acid during storage. Salicylic acid, especially at 400 ppm was more effective to reduce weight loss and decay, and to maintain fruit quality in comparison to putrescine treatments. It could be concluded that salicylic acid and putrescine are effectively delaying post-harvest deterioration rate and extending the storage period of Murcott mandarin fruit with acceptable quality.
