Hexanal and 1-MCP treatments for enhancing the shelf life and quality of sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.)

Influence of postharvest chitosan treatment on enzymatic browning and antioxidant enzyme activity in sweet cherry fruit

“…Other studies reported that after chitosan coating, fruit and vegetable protective enzymes maintain high activities, delaying postharvest senescence by ROS elimination (Youwei and Yinzhe, 2013). The effect of chitosan coating on SOD activity is comparable to other postharvest treatments (1-MCP or methyl-jasmonate) on different commodities such as peach, pear, loquat and sweet cherry fruit (Fu et al, 2007;Cao et al, 2009;Sharma et al, 2010;Jin et al, 2011).…”

Effect of a sodium caseinate edible coating on berry cactus fruit (Myrtillocactus geometrizans) phytochemicals

“…In the absence of any agents to prevent senescent breakdown, the decline in polyphenol content may not be preventable. In cherry fruits that were treated with agents to prevent membrane deterioration, polyphenols did not show a pronounced decline during storage (Sharma, Jacob, Subramanian, & Paliyath, 2010). Therefore, a combination of treatments to prevent structural deterioration and oxygen permeability may be a better option in fast deteriorating berry cactus fruits.…”

Combinatorial approaches for controlling pericarp browning in Litchi (Litchi chinensis) fruit

“…Duvenhage (1993) compared treatment of Chitosan 1 % Shelf-life extension up to 5 days Lin et al 2011 Cold storage, anerobic and pure oxygen environment Short term anaerobic treatment have been found effective than pure oxygen Liu et al 2011; Gamma radiations (400Gy) Maintaining quality attributes Gautam et al 2013 Inhibitory chemicals (butanol or hexanal) treatment Oxidative stress management Sun et al 2011;Sharma et al 2010 Combinatorial treatment of sodium metabisulfite, acid dips and perforated LDPE stoage…”
