“…Firmness of "Chilcotin' was unchanged after 12 days, while all other cultivars increased in firmness, on average 32% (data not shown). Increase in firmness during storage has been reported by Conway (1986) and by Varseveld and Richardson (1980). At subsequent storage times, firm ness decreased or showed no change, de pending on cultivar.…”

“…In 'Chilcotin', some other process ap parently accelerated softening. Varseveld and Richardson (1980) speculated that an ob served increase in firmness during storage might be due to transformation of cell wall pectins and temporary Ca bonding of pectic acid polymers. Differences in ability or tim ing of this combined with water loss differ ences may be responsible for the results seen here.…”

Fruits of red raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) cultivars were harvested at the red-ripe stage and stored at 0C for up to 36 days. Firmness and titratable acidity generally decreased during storage, while anthocyanin and pH generally increased. Cultivars differed in rates and direction of change in firmness and pH during storage, and means differed at successive storage periods. Cultivars generally maintained their at-harvest ranking through storage in all characters. Cultivars differed in respiration rate. Respiration rate was positively correlated with ethylene evolution, rot, weight loss, and change in soluble solids concentration after 36 days in storage, and negatively correlated with change in firmness after all storage periods.

Biodegradable and Compostable Film and Modified Atmosphere Packaging in Postharvest Supply Chain of Raspberry Fruits (cv. Grandeur)

In this study, noncommercial biodegradable and compostable nonperforated films (F2, F3, F4) were evaluated for modified atmosphere packaging storage for 5 days at 1 ± 1C and 7 days at 20 ± 1C of raspberries cv. Grandeur. After measuring the CO2 (PeCO2) and the O2 (PeO2) permeability of new films at different temperatures, the most important qualitative traits and nutraceutical components of fruits were analyzed and compared with those of unwrapped raspberries and macroperforated film (F1). As the temperature increased, the F2 and F3 were the only films to allow storage of the fruits up to 12 days, but the F3 film (5.7 kPa O2 and values of 31.6 kPa CO2) was the best for maintaining the color parameter (L 29.0, chroma 36.4) close to the value observed at harvest because of a similar ratio between the PeCO2 and the PeO2 (4.2 and 4.1, respectively) at both low and high temperatures. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONSThis study of the permeability of new films from renewable sources for packaging raspberries in a temperature range that can simulate the postharvest supply chain could indicate that storing these perishable fruits under modified atmospheric packaging could increase environmental sustainability.

“…Also, it has now been demonstrated that exogenous ethylene accelerates the ripening process when using pigmentation as a measure of development. Varseveld & Richardson (1980) showed 'Marion' blackberry fruits to exhibit a climacteric increase in respiration during storage, the timing of which could be retarded by reducing the storage temperature. These two pieces of work suggest that blackberry fruits are climacteric, although Lipe (1978) stated that the 'Humble' blackberry fruit was non-climacteric.…”

In all cultivars the force required to harvest fruit declined during ripening. The fruit retention strength (FRS) of ripe fruit varied between cultivars with 'Ashton Cross' and 'Chehalem' being easier to remove than 'Bedford Giant' or 'Oregon Thornless'. The cultivars 'Ashton Cross' and 'Oregon Thornless' showed no increase in ethylene production during fruit ripening whereas 'Bedford Giant' and 'Chehalem' had increased rates of ethylene production (EPR) in the ripe fruit. Exogenous ethylene accelerated abscission, ethylene production and pigment changes in 'Ashton Cross' fruit at all stages of development. l-aminocyclopropane-l-carboxylic acid (ACC) supplied to fruit at all stages of development was converted to ethylene at levels in excess of those found naturally. The differences between cultivars are discussed with reference to the role of ethylene in both machine harvesting and post-harvest storage of blackberry fruit.
