“…Patel and Rao reported several changes in physiological attributes in khirni with fruit growth and maturity [14]. Thus, our study is in accordance with the studies of Ishaq et al, who reported that cut slices of packed tomatoes containing purafil had more reduced rates of respiration than those in which no ethylene absorbent was used [15]. Pangaribuan et al reported changes in ethylene evolution in tomato with different ethylene absorbents [16].…”

Ethylene absorbents influence fruit firmness and activity of enzymes involved in fruit softening of Japanese plum (Prunus salicina Lindell) cv. Santa Rosa.Abstract -Introduction. Plum cv. Santa Rosa shows climacteric behaviour and grows profitably under sub-temperate conditions in India. After ripening, it has a very limited shelf life (3-4 days) in ambient conditions [(38 ± 2)°C and at (68 ± 4)% RH]. Hence, there is an urgent need to extend its marketability using recent techniques. Materials and methods. Plums were harvested at the pre-climacteric and climacteric stages of maturity and packed with newspaper shreds (control), KMnO 4 -impregnated chalks, KMnO 4 -impregnated newspaper shreds or ethylene-absorbent sachets; then they were transported by road to New Delhi. The biochemical and physiological analyses were carried out at 3-day intervals on plums stored in supermarket conditions [(20 ± 1)°C and at (90 ± 2)% RH] for 15 days. Results and discussion. Untreated fruits had less firmness than those which were packed with ethylene absorbents. The activities of fruit-softening enzymes such as lipoxygenase (LOX), polygalacturonase (PG) and pectin methylesterase (PME) increased rapidly in the control treatment in comparison with plums packed with various ethylene absorbents, the least being either with ethyleneabsorbent sachets or with KMnO 4 -impregnated newspaper shreds. Plums of pre-climacteric and climacteric maturity attained respiration and ethylene evolution peaks on the 9th day and 6th day, respectively. Conclusions. The plums of pre-climacteric and climacteric stages of maturity packed with ethylene-absorbent sachets showed the best results in supermarket conditions in maintaining the firmness, quality and shelf life of plum up to the 12th day and 9th day of storage, respectively. Les activités des enzymes de ramollissement des fruits comme la lipoxygénase (LOX), la polygalacturonase (PG) et la pectine méthylestérase (PME) ont augmenté rapidement dans les fruits témoins par rapport à ceux qui avaient été emballés avec les différents matériaux absorbeurs d'éthylène, ces activités étant moindres pour les prunes emballées soit avec les sachets d'absorbeurs d'éthylène, soit avec des lanières de journaux imprégnées de KMnO 4 . Les prunes aux stades de maturité pré-climatérique et climatérique ont atteint leurs pics de respiration et d'évolution de l'éthylène le 9e jour et 6e jour, respectivement. Conclusion. Les prunes japonaises récoltées à des stades de maturité pré-climatérique et climatérique, emballées en présence de sachets absorbeurs d'éthylène et stockées en conditions de supermarchés, ont donné les meilleurs résultats pour le maintien de la fermeté, de la qualité et de la durée de vie des fruits jusqu'au 12 e jour et 9 e jour de stockage, respectivement.

“…Moreover, calcium salts used to increase Ca ++ content in the cell wall since there is an inverse relationship between calcium level of fruit tissue and the respiratory rate of fruits (Faust and Shear, 1972;Shirzadeh et al, 2011). In addition, calcium salts prevented physiological disorders, reduced the respiration, lessened the pectic substances solubilization, so maintained firmness and slowed down the process of ripening (Salunkhe and Desai, 1984;Burns and Pressey, 1987;Magee et al, 2002;Dunn and Able, 2006;Raese and Drake, 2006;Ishaq et al, 2009;Gayed et al, 2017). Furthermore, the presented results were in line with those obtained by El-Shazly et al (2013) who indicated that the preharvest application of calcium increased yield, firmness and acidity of peach fruits.…”

“…All fruits were stored for a period of one month at 0 o C (Abd El-Motty et al, 2007) and 90-95% RH in a commercial refrigerator. The shelf life assessment was not measured because apricot fruits are perishable (Ishaq et al, 2009) and had a very short shelf life. In addition, many investigators did not estimate it (Martinez-Romero et al, 2000;Abd El-Motty et al, 2007;Shirzadeh et al, 2011;Abdrabboh, 2012;Sarfaraz et al, 2014;Yousefi et al, 2015;Al-Saikhan, 2018).…”

This study was conducted during two sequential seasons of 2015 and 2016 in a private orchard located in El-Khattaba District, Menoufia Governorate, Egypt to investigate the influence of calcium chloride (CaCl 2) at 2%, anti-ethylene compounds namely Aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) at 150 ppm and 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) at 25 ppm in addition to their combinations (CaCl 2 plus AVG, CaCl 2 plus 1-MCP, AVG plus 1-MCP and finally CaCl 2 plus AVG and 1-MCP, at the same concentrations) on fruit drop at harvest and yield as well as firmness, jelly pulp and other quality parameters of "Canino" apricot fruits during cold storage at 0 o C and 90-95% RH for one month. During 2015 and 2016 seasons, apricot trees were sprayed three times starting after full bloom, fruit setting and finally ten days before harvest. Quality of sprayed fruits was evaluated at harvest and every ten days of cold storage. The results showed that external browning, internal browning, jelly pulp, fresh weight loss, total sugars, total soluble solids (TSS), TSS to acidity ratio, carotene content were increased, while firmness, electrolyte leakage, vitamin C, acidity, chlorophylls a and b contents were decreased with the progress of cold storage duration. Furthermore, the results revealed that all used treatments reduced external and internal browning symptoms in addition to jelly pulp formation and fruit fresh weight loss. Moreover, the treatments lessened electrolyte leakage of fruits, retarded the loss of fruit firmness and were effective on keeping the physical and chemical qualities relative to the control treatment. Finally, this study indicated that the addition of CaCl 2 to anti-ethylene compounds was more effective than the individual application of each compound on reducing fruit abscission, increasing average fruit weight and yield/tree at harvest plus retarding the loss of firmness, other physical and chemical qualities and prolonging the storability of "Canino" apricots stored at 0 o C, especially the combination of AVG and 1-MCP in the presence of CaCl 2.

“…Rohani et al, (1997) mentioned, the increase in TSS is related to ripening of fresh commodities while slower rate of respiration may reduce metabolic activities and thus result in to lower TSS values. The above statement line with Ishaq et al, (2009), TSS value was considerably increased during storage due to fully conversion of starches in to soluble sugars. At the same time decline in TSS during storage period attributed to fermentation of soluble sugars in to alcohol, Co2 and water (Majidi et al, 2011).…”

Fruits at 50% maturity stage were selected and six different treatments were applied to find the best storage conditions where, ambient temperature packed in transparent polythene (T1), stored in black polythene (T2), without packing (T3), refrigerator packed in transparent polythene (T4), refrigerator packed in black polythene (T5) and refrigerator without packing (T6).Physiological characters (weight, firmness, juice content and rotten %) and TSS, pH and Acidity of the initial and stored fruits were examined on every 7 th day for a period of 35 days. Sensory evaluation was conducted using 10 panelists to find out consumer preferences. During storage period minimum weight losses (from 85.1g to 73.1g), highest TSS (11.2), gradually decreasing of firmness, increase of pH ( from 2.6 ± 0.1) and reduction of acidity (from 1.6 ± 0.1 to 1.2 ± 0.06) were observed in fruits stored in refrigerator with packed of black polythene with glossy appearance yellow colour and 0% of rotten fruits. Sensory evaluation results of black colour polythene covered fruit stored in refrigerator had significantly higher (Pr>F 0.05) values such as 98% peel colour appearance, taste (88) and juice content (88). Therefore, stored in refrigerator packed in black polythene were the best quality fruits.
