“…Changes in physiological attributes in khirni with fruit growth and maturity were reported by Patel and Rao [14]. The effect of ethylene absorbents on the ethylene evolution rate in fruits has been studied by Pekmezci et al, who reported lower ethylene evolution rates in 'Hayward' kiwifruit when stored in a modified atmosphere along with ethylene absorbents than control kiwifruits [17]. Similarly, Jang et al [6] reported that the storability of 'Sheridan' and 'Muscat Bailey A' grapes was increased over untreated grapes by reduced rates of ethylene evolution when ethylene absorbents were placed in the polyethylene bags containing grapes.…”

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.

Response of different maturity stages of sapota (Manilkara achras Mill.) cv. Kallipatti to in-package ethylene absorbent

et al. 2011

Sapota fruits are highly perishable due to their climacteric nature. The rapid softening of fruits is primarily due to high activity of many oxidative enzymes and liberation of ethylene. Harvest maturity plays a crucial role in deciding the marketability of climacteric fruits in general. Attempt has been made to evaluate the response of ethylene absorbent on variable maturity groups of harvested Sapota cv. Kallipatti with the objective to delay the ripening during transit and extend its marketability during storage at ambient condition (27-32°C & 65-75% R.H.). Harvested fruits having three different degree of ripeness (as maturity indices viz. mature, half-ripe and ripe) were packed with or without ethylene absorbent sachets (Bioconservación, France) in 10 kg CFB boxes and transported from Dahnu to Delhi covering a distant of approximately 2500 KM by truck on road along with conventional packaging as control. The fruits were evaluated immediately on arrival at Delhi and subsequently during storage for various physical, physiological, biochemical and decay parameters. Mature fruits with ethylene absorbent exhibited maximum delay in ripening, low ethylene liberation, weight loss and high fruit firmness. The response of ethylene absorbent to extend the marketability of ripe fruit was not significant.

“…This disorder is suggested to be due to the oxidation of phenolic compounds on the husk of the fruit when stored at temperatures exceeding 5 °C . Pekmezci et al reported that scald symptoms become evident after 8 weeks of storage at 2 °C. For ‘Wonderful’, Ben‐Arie and Or reported that husk scald can be effectively controlled when fruit is stored under 2% O 2 at 2 °C.…”

Pomegranate is a subtropical and tropical fruit of great importance from a health point of view. Despite increasing consumer awareness of the health benefits of pomegranate, consumption of the fruit is still limited owing to poor postharvest handling, storage recommendations, short shelf life and quality deterioration during transportation, storage and marketing. The occurrence of physiological disorders such as husk scald, splitting and chilling injury is another challenge reducing marketability and consumer acceptance. Recently, notable work on postharvest biology and technology has been done. Pomegranate is highly sensitive to low-oxygen (<5 kPa) atmospheres, chilling injury and decay. One of the major problems associated with pomegranate fruit is excessive weight loss, which may result in hardening of the husk and browning of the rind and arils. To reduce chilling injury incidence and to extend storability and marketing of pomegranates, good results were obtained with polyamine, heat, salicylic acid, methyl jasmonate or methyl salicylate treatments prior to cold storage. This article reviews the maturity indices, changes during maturation and ripening, postharvest physiology and technology of pomegranate fruit as well as the various postharvest treatments for maintaining fruit quality.
