Physicochemical and colour properties of organic and conventional kiwifruits as affected by storage periods

Abstract: In this study, the effect of storage periods (0, 2, 3 and 4 months) on physico-chemical and colour properties of organic and conventional kiwifruits were investigated. The fruit mass, geometric mean diameter, volume of organic and conventional kiwifruits decreased with increasing storage period. The skin and flesh firmnesses were higher in organic kiwifruits than that of conventional kiwifruits. The organic acid contents was higher in conventional kiwifruits than that of organic kiwifruits; the sugar contents … Show more

“…Lightness of fresh kiwifruit juice was similar to the value reported by Islam et al (2012) for organic kiwifruit juice (L ∗ = 32.00). HPH treatment caused a significant increase of this parameter in comparison to the control samples, which could be due to the higher light scattering properties of smaller size particles (Calligaris et al, 2012).…”

“…The skin and flesh firmness was higher in organic kiwifruits than in conventional ones. Results from this study showed that the physicochemical properties and color characteristics of organic and conventional kiwifruits were affected by storage periods (26). Polyphenols were significantly higher in ethylene-treated samples than in nontreated, and were significantly higher in organic samples than in conventional, except for some data from the sixth and eighth days of treatment (Table 2).…”

“…Consumer evaluation studies have shown that consumers want to buy organic foods because they think it is healthier, tastier and safer even though they are more expensive (Yadav and Pathak, 2016;Rana and Paul, 2017;Chekima et al, 2017;Hansen et al, 2018;Asif et al, 2018). In parallel with the increasing demand for organic food, organic food production has also increased in recent years (Islam et al 2012;Krejcova et al, 2016). Today, some 80 million euros of organic food is produced by 2.7 million producers on 57.8 million ha of land (FiBL and IFOAM, 2018).…”
