Quality of fresh-cut avocado (Persea americana Mill.) stored under different temperatures

Abstract: The goal of this work was to evaluate the effect of different storage temperatures on the quality maintenance of fresh-cut 'Fortuna' avocado (Persea americana Mill.). The fruit was selected, washed and sanitized with sodium hypochlorite solution (190 ppm total residual chlorinee) for 15 minutes. After that, the tip was cut and the fruit was also cut in halves, peeled and the pit removed, manually. Then the halves were immersed in 0.5% calcium chlorite + 0.5% cysteine solution for 2 minutes, to avoid darkening … Show more

“…The effect of temperature decrease was high enough to minimize the differences between the control and treated frozen avocado slices. These results agree with A. C. Pinheiro et al (2009) who observed that avocado browning was reduced by PPO activity inhibition at freezing storage temperatures. The great effect played by frozen temperature was reflected in the ABI, with all extracts being highly effective in the delay of avocado browning.…”

“…A atividade da POD aumentou para todos os tratamentos, durante todo o período de armazenamento (Figura 5 da POD.. Segundo Pinheiro et al (2009), a atividade da peroxidase aumentou com o decorrer do tempo de armazenamento de abacates minimamente processados. Zhang et al (2004) observaram alta atividade da peroxidase (8,5x10 3 U.min -1 .g -1 MF) para lichias cv.…”

“…O uso de baixa temperatura no armazenamento, realizado de modo adequado, reduz a incidência de doenças pela inibição do crescimento de microrganismos, restringe as atividades enzimáticas e respiratórias, inibe a perda de água, retarda a perda de frescor e qualidade e reduz a produção de etileno (Chitarra & Chitarra, 2005;Damiani et al, 2008a,b;Pinheiro et al, 2009). A temperatura utilizada durante o armazenamento é de grande importância, pois exerce influência na taxa de respiração e transpiração dos frutos.…”
