“…1-MCP markedly inhibited the decline, thus maintained higher levels of phenolics throughout the experimental period compared with the control fruit. Since loquat fruit is susceptible to enzymatic browning (Ding et al 2002), the decrease in total phenolic content in loquat fruit may be due to the increase in enzymatic oxidation of phenolic compounds during storage. Our previous studies have shown that 1-MCP treatment could inhibit the browning increase in cold-stored loquat fruit (Cao et al 2009a, b), which may result in the maintenance of higher levels of total phenolic content in loquat fruit by 1-MCP, observed in the present study.…”

Freshly harvested loquat fruit were pretreated with 50 nl/L 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) for 24 h at 208C and then stored at 18C for 35 days to investigate the effect of 1-MCP on fruit nutritive and functional properties. The results show that 1-MCP-treated fruit exhibit a lower incidence of decay and higher levels of total soluble solids, total titratable acidity, fructose, glucose, sucrose, malic and lactic acids, total phenolics and total flavonoids than control fruit during storage. The 1-MCP treatment also maintains higher antioxidant activity as measured by the scavenging capacity against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl and superoxide radicals, and by the reducing power test compared with the control. These results suggest that 1-MCP treatment can improve the nutritive and functional properties of harvested loquat fruit, thus providing a high content in health-beneficial compounds to consumers.

“…Sugars and organic acids were extracted from loquat fruit using the method as previously described (Ding et al 2002) with some modifications. 5 g of flesh tissue from the same 10 fruit used for the surface colour measurement was homogenized in 20 ml of 95% (v/v) cold ethanol solution for 1 min and shaken for 10 min.…”

“…Modifi ed atmosphere (MA) is referred to as a relationship between product respiration and gas exchange within any form of structural enclosure. MA storage can be used to maintain the post-harvest quality of different fruits (Meir et al 1996, Ding et al 2002, Illeperuma and Jayasuriya 2002, Rodov et al 2002. If mango fruits are stored at 1% O 2 and 15% CO 2 level, off-fl avour and skin discolouration occur.…”

The king of fruits "Mango" (Mangifera indica L.) is very nutritious and rich in carotenes. India produces about 50% of the total world's mango. Many researchers have reported the maturity indices and quality parameters for determination of harvesting time and eating quality. The methods currently used for determination of quality of mango are mostly based on the biochemical analysis, which leads to destruction of the fruits. Numerous works are being carried out to explore some non-destructive methods such as Near Infrared (NIR), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), X-ray and Computed Tomography (CT), electronic nose, machine vision and ultrasound for quality determination of fruits. This paper deals with some recent work reported on quality parameters, harvesting and post-harvest treatments in relation to quality of mango fruits and reviews on some of the potential non-destructive techniques that can be explored for quality determination of mango cultivars.

“…There are several biotic and abiotic constraints that limit plant production and quality; in particular loquat fruit is sensitive to chilling. Chilling injury causes a loss of flavor and taste, flesh woodiness, decreased juiciness, and, internal browning (Lin et al, 1999;Zheng et al, 2000;Ding et al, 2002;Cai et al, 2006a). Currently, most reports have focused on long-term storage of the fruit at low temperatures.…”

Analysis of alterations to the transcriptome of Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.) under low temperature stress via de novo sequencing

ABSTRACT. Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.), which originates from the cooler hill regions of southwestern China, is a typical subtropical evergreen tree. Loquat is one of the most important economic crops in China, but the available genomic information is very limited. Here, we present the first deep transcriptomic analysis of loquat. De novo assembly generated 116,723 contigs and 64,814 unigenes using Illumina sequencing technology. A total of 45,739 unigenes were annotated by Nr, GO, and COG datasets. In addition, we analyzed the gene expression profiles of loquat fruit under low temperature stress and 4017 differential expressed genes were identified. We found that the unigenes involved in the brassinosteroid biosynthesis and phosphatidylinositol signaling systems were upregulated, indicating that they have an important role in the resistance of plants to low temperature. Our results provide an invaluable resource for identification of specific genes and proteins involved in loquat development and response to low temperatures.
