“…Other researchers have studied the application of hydrophobic coatings in the preharvest stage to reduce rain cracking in sweet cherries. Torres et al [ 44 ] applied RainGard (mixture of fatty acids and vegetable oil) three times on cherry trees and reported 40.5%, 40.0%, and 52.0% reductions in rain cracking at harvest for Bing, Sweetheart, and Van cherries, respectively. They indicated that the coating waterproofed the surface of the cherries and acted as a filler for the micro-cracks in the cuticle.…”

The cracking of sweet cherries causes significant crop losses. Sweet cherries (cv. Bing) were coated by electro-spraying with an edible nanoemulsion (NE) of alginate and soybean oil with or without a CaCl2 cross-linker to reduce cracking. Coated sweet cherries were stored at 4 °C for 28 d. The barrier and fruit quality properties and nutritional values of the coated cherries were evaluated and compared with those of uncoated sweet cherries. Sweet cherries coated with NE + CaCl2 increased cracking tolerance by 53% and increased firmness. However, coated sweet cherries exhibited a 10% increase in water loss after 28 d due to decreased resistance to water vapor transfer. Coated sweet cherries showed a higher soluble solid content, titratable acidity, antioxidant capacity, and total soluble phenolic content compared with uncoated sweet cherries. Therefore, the use of the NE + CaCl2 coating on sweet cherries can help reduce cracking and maintain their postharvest quality.

“…The use of hydrophobic films has also been reported to physically prevent water uptake through the cuticle. Torres et al (2009a) reported significant reduction of induced cracking when fruit was sprayed with a lipophilic hydrophobic compound which formed a film over the fruit. Schrader and Sun (2005) have also reported significant reduction of cherry cracking when hydrophobic films were used under commercial conditions.…”

Rain-induced cracking in fruits of sweet cherry (Prunus avium [L.]) is a problem in most producing areas of the world and causes significant economic losses. Different orchard management practices have been employed to reduce the severity of this problem, although a complete solution is not yet available. Fruit cracking is a complex phenomenon and there are many factors that seem to be involved in its development. During the last decade, genomic and biochemical approaches have provided new insights on the different mechanisms that could be involved in the differential susceptibility shown by commercial cultivars. For instance, sweet cherry genome and transcriptome sequencing information have provided new opportunities to study the expression and structure of genes involved in cracking, which may help in the development of new tolerant cultivars. The present review summarizes, discuss, and integrate most of the recently generated information in cultural practices, physiology, biochemistry, and genetics in relation to cracking in sweet cherries.

“…Anti-transpirants are commonly used to reduce plant water stress however they have also been shown to negatively impact on the levels of soluble solids because they limit gaseous exchange (Webster and Cline, 1994). Bioguard® reduced cracking by 52% in variety 'Van' in trials in South America (Torres et al, 2009). Recent investigations of a new copolymer of stearic acid, cellulose and calcium (SureSeal) and a related product by the same developers with palm oil replacing the stearic acid (Parka®), has shown that anti-transpirants may have considrerable potential.…”

This study was designed to confirm the efficacy of anti-transpirant sprays on reducing fruit cracking in cherry, and to evaluate the impact on fruit quality at harvest and during post-harvest storage. In the study, it was observed that there were differences in the rate of natural cracking depending on the amount of precipitation, but there were inconsistencies in the differences. In some trials, the amount of precipitation has no effect on the rate of cracking, but generally the increase in the amount of precipitation has increased the rate of cracking. It has been determined that there is a significant reduction in cracking rate due to spray applications. Sprays consistently had minimal effect on fruit quality overall. Assessments of fruit post-harvest highlighted that all fruit, treated and untreated, exhibited similar behaviour during storage.
