温度、丙烯和1-MCP对西洋梨果实乙烯合成和乙烯受体ETR1同源基因表达的影响

研究了贮藏温度、丙烯和 1 MCP (1-甲基环丙烯 )处理对帕斯—卡桑 (Passe -Crassane)西洋梨果实成熟的影响。结果表明 :低温可促进果实的乙烯合成 ,未经低温处理的果实 ,用丙烯处理 ,不能正常合成乙烯。丙烯促进乙烯合成的效应随冷藏时间延长而增强。1 MCP处理可抑制冷藏果实的乙烯合成。定量PCR分析结果表明 ,果实中乙烯受体ETR1同源基因的表达不受低温的调节 ;但冷藏后升温或升温后用丙烯处理时 ,mRNA含量降低     

果蔬成熟和衰老中的重要酶-脂氧合酶

脂氧合酶是广泛存在于植物体中的一种酶,已有研究表明,它可能参与植物生长、发育、成熟、衰老和防御过程的调控。近年来,随着对果蔬采后生理研究的深入,越来越发现脂氧合酶与果蔬采后的变化有关,它调节某些物质的合成,参与乙烯的代谢途径,并与果蔬的抗性、风味、颜色、硬度等都有密切的关系。综述了脂氧合酶在采后的研究进展,提出了该酶可能是控制采后生理变化的关键酶,并提出寻找脂氧合酶特异性抑制剂,用反义基因技术控制该酶的生物合成,培育耐贮新品种的设想

Organic acid content and composition of the olive fruits during ripening and its relationship with oil and sugar

In this work, the contents of oil, sugar and organic acids of olive fruit samples (Domat, Memecik and Uslu) were determined by using HPLC at different maturation stages. Olive fruit samples presented a common organic acid profile, composed of four constituents: oxalic, citric, malic and succunic acids. Total organic acid content of Domat variety was found to be 4787.1 ± 4.53 mg/100 g in January. Memecik variety had the highest value at the beginning of the ripening period (6385.08 ± 4.90 mg/100 g). The amount of organic acid in Uslu variety reached up to the value of 10942.5 ± 30.41 mg/100 g. The results were evaluated statistically to determine relationship between the oil, sugar and organic acid content in three olive varieties during maturation. A positive correlation was found between the total sugar and organic acid (r = 0.54, p < 0.01) whereas a low positive correlation was observed between the contents of oil and total organic acids (r = 0.46, p < 0.05) in olive varieties.     

红果番茄果实成熟过程中类胡萝卜素含量动态变化研究

[目的]为了考察番茄果实成熟过程中类胡萝卜素的动态变化情况,丰富果实成熟过程生理生化变化的基础理论。[方法]以红果番茄为试验材料,用HPLC内标法测定了果实成熟过程中番茄红素、β-胡萝卜素、叶黄素含量的动态变化。[结果]番茄红素在绿熟期检测不到,发白期开始出现,随后随着成熟进程,开始大量形成并积累,至红熟Ⅱ期,果实中含量达到最大值。β-胡萝卜素在绿熟期果实内有少量生成,其含量在发白期略有下降,在转色期回复上升,它们的含量都在红熟Ⅱ期达到最高。叶黄素变化规律与β-胡萝卜素相同。β-胡萝卜素含量不到番茄红素含量的1/5,叶黄素含量约为番茄红素含量的1/50。[结论]番茄果实成熟过程中,其番茄红素含量逐渐增加,β-胡萝卜素和叶黄素含量先下降后上升,三种类胡萝卜素在果实完全成熟时含量达到最高。     

1-甲基环丙烯对高温下香蕉果实后熟的影响

以香蕉果实为试材,研究了1-甲基环丙烯(1-MCP)对高温逆境下香蕉果实后熟生理的影响。结果表明:35℃高温下贮藏的香蕉果实出现了明显的青皮熟现象,而0.5μL/L的1-MCP处理24h后可显著抑制高温下贮藏果实硬度的降低,延缓果皮细胞膜透性的升高,同时有效地延迟了果肉中淀粉酶活性升高、淀粉含量下降及可溶性糖含量上升。1-MCP处理果实于35℃下贮藏9d后移入20℃环境,进一步延缓了这些后熟生理变化。1-MCP和高温均抑制了果皮叶绿素含量下降,因此1-MCP处理减轻了香蕉热害的程度,延长了果实在高温下的贮藏寿命。     

Effect of high-pressure hot-water washing treatment on fruit quality, insects, and disease in apples and pears: Part I. System description and the effect on fruit quality of ‘d’Anjou’ pears

A manually operated high-pressure hot-water washing system consisting of a boiler, hot-water mixing tank, contact loop, heat exchanger, spray mixing tank, high-pressure hot-water washing manifold, low-pressure fresh water rinse manifold, and pressure pump was constructed and installed in a packingline. The system developed 20–50 °C washing water at pressures up to 980 kPa. ‘d’Anjou’ pears (Pyrus communis L.), shortly after harvest, and after storage for 3 and 4 months in regular air (RA) or for 4, 7 and 8 months in controlled atmosphere (CA) at −1 °C were washed through the packingline with different wetting agents (0.1% Silwet, 0.01 and 0.1% Defoamer, and water), water pressures (regular and high-pressure (210–980 kPa)), water temperatures (control (tap water, 4–22 °C), 40 °C, and 50 °C), and brushes (soft and firm), respectively. The effect of the washing conditions on fruit quality was investigated after 1 month of storage at −1 °C to simulate shipping condition, and then again after 1 week at 20 °C to simulate marketing condition. Hot-water caused severe heat scald. When nozzle temperature was 50 °C, the incidence of heat scald increased to over 50% for the fruit stored in RA for 3 months. Combined with hot-water, 540 kPa high-pressure washing increased the incidence of friction discoloration. There were lower incidences of friction discoloration and heat scald for fruit stored in CA for 7 months, in comparison to that in RA for 3 months. However, those fruit did not ripen properly as indicated by a high extractable juice content. Fruit washed at harvest had minor incidences of friction discoloration regardless of different brushes, water pressures, and wetting agents. Fruit washed after storages in either 4 months RA or 4 or 8 months CA suffered a high incidence of friction discoloration including scuffing symptoms and pressure marking. The firm brushes caused a higher incidence of friction discoloration mainly because of scuffing symptoms. However, no differences were found between different water pressures and wetting agents with respect to friction discoloration. Fruit stored for 4 months RA suffered 26–28% friction discoloration in comparison to 16–18% in CA stored fruit with firm brush washing. Extended CA storage increased friction discoloration even with soft brush washing. The results suggest that a washing system with high-pressure spray, <30 °C warm water, wetting agent Defoamer and rotating soft brushes were significantly effective in removing surface pests and decay control without causing internal or external damage of fruit.     

Maturity assessment at harvest and prediction of softening in a late maturing nectarine cultivar after cold storage

The absorption coefficient μ_a measured at 670 nm in fruit pulp at harvest by time-resolved reflectance spectroscopy (TRS) has been shown to be a good maturity index for early nectarine cultivars. By including individual fruit maturity as a biological shift factor (BSF) into a kinetic model for softening it is possible to select fruit with different shelf-life potential. The BSF approach combined with TRS measurement and kinetic modeling of firmness was applied to a late maturing nectarine cultivar (‘Morsiani 90’), ripened at 20 °C after harvest or after storage at 0 °C and 4 °C, the latter conditions inducing chilling injury. At harvest the absorption coefficient μ_a had low values and low variability, indicating advanced maturity, while firmness was similar to that of early cultivars. The softening model took into account these differences, showing parameters similar to those of the early cultivars with the exception of the softening rate which was 2-6 times lower, indicating a slower softening in ‘Morsiani 90’ fruit. Decay of μ_a at 20 °C was also slower. Softening continued during storage at 4 °C, but not at 0 °C. After storage at 0 °C softening was resumed similarly to non-stored fruit, but with much variability. Fruit stored at 4 °C, which showed chilling injury, had a softening rate at 20 °C significantly higher than that of 0 °C fruit. It is suggested that the same changes in cell wall metabolism which induce the appearance of chilling injury also affect firmness and increase softening rate.
