“…Organic fruits had higher TTA values (0.95 %) than conventional fruits (0.86 %) (Figure 4). These levels are higher than 0.49 -0.66% reported for conventional sugarloaf pineapple by Owureku-Asare et al (2015) but comparable to 1.1% reported by Wardy et al, (2009) for sugarloaf pineapple and 0.5 -1.6 % by Paull and Chen (2014) for pineapples in general. Acidity levels among the two pineapple categories increased over the storage period.…”

Fresh pineapple is an excellent source of vitamin C and there is a big demand for organically produced sugar-loaf pineapples in Europe. However, due to its high moisture content and high perishability, transportation over long distances is difficult and require cold storage conditions. The main objective of this research was to assess the quality properties of organic and conventional sugar loaf pineapples under cold storage conditions over a 21 – day period. Conventional pineapples were harvested from Albe Farms in the Eastern region and organic pineapples from Ali farms in the Central regions of Ghana. The fruits were allowed to cool to room temperature before storing at 1°C. Physical and chemical properties of the fruits were determined at days 0, 7, 14 and 21, using standard methods. Conventional sugar-loaf pineapples were larger, but had lower dry matter, soluble solids and vitamin C, than organic pineapples. The weight, translucency and pH of the two categories of pineapples were similar. No significant loss in weight, lengths and crown characteristics were observed after the storage period. Translucency increased from <25% to a range of 50 – 75% by the end of the storage period in both organic and conventional fruits. While no clear trend was observed in the soluble solids content and pH during storage of both organic and conventional sugarloaf pineapple, total titratable acidity increased marginally and vitamin C levels dipped over the 21-day storage period. The trends in acidity, vitamin C and translucency suggest that it is possible to store both conventional and organic sugarloaf pineapple for 21-day storage period at 1 °C. This implies the possibility of shipping both organic and conventional sugarloaf pineapples to destinations requiring sea freighting.

“…25 There are technologies in post-harvest management of other fruits that are difficult to extrapolate to management of the papaya fruit, due to the fact that their genetic characteristics limit it. 26 The shelf life of papaya depends largely on post-harvest treatments, storage, packaging, and transportation. A papaya in tropical climate conditions and without any treatment can have a shelf life of approximately seven days.…”

“…This could be due to genetic characteristics of the papaya and the ripening process make it very susceptible to injury or damage caused by handling. 26 The most studied treatments are chemical, thermal and based on natural extracts. The use of only type of treatment has had little success in combating diseases, so the use of combined treatments has been the best option.…”

Papaya is a tropical fruit of economic, industrial, medicinal and nutritional importance, produced in 70 countries. The objective of this research was to carry out a compilation and analysis of the information related to harvest maturity indexes, shelf life, main diseases and post-harvest treatments of papaya, for which the VOS viewer software was used. It is possible to determine a harvest index by correlating the color with the internal physicochemical characteristics of the papaya. The short shelf life is attributed to the physiology of the fruit and the susceptibility to diseases such as anthracnose. Derived from this, the investigations carried out in the last 10 years have focused on technologies such as; edible films and coatings with various antifungal compounds; compounds that delay fruit ripening; and post-harvest treatments to extend shelf life.
