Influence of aqueous 1-methylcyclopropene on postharvest ripening and quality of banana

A comparative study of edible coatings and freshness paper on the quality of fresh North American pawpaw (Asimina triloba) fruits using TOPSIS-Shannon entropy analyses

“…In fruits like strawberries and mangoes, it has been found that during storage, pH increases while titratable acidity decreases possibly due to the oxidation of the acids during storage ( Alharaty and Ramaswamy, 2020 ; Cosme Silva et al, 2017 ; Islam et al, 2013 ). Other studies have reported that for fruits in the Annonaceae family like atemoya and soursop, and others like banana, pH decreases and titratable acidity increases during storage ( Pareek et al, 2011 ; Rahman et al, 2013 ; Torres et al, 2009 ). This is likely due to the production of more organic acids from the fermentation of the sugars in the fruits.…”

Effect of Ethephon on Ripening and Postharvest Quality of Tomato (Solanum Lycopersicum) During Storage

“…Fruit firmness: Fruit firmness was measured by using a Digital Firmness Tester (DFT 14, Agro Technologie, France). The following method was used (Rahman et al, 2013) to determine fruit firmness. The firmness value was expressed as a resistance force (N) of the surface.…”
