The role of different natural organic acids in postharvest fruit quality management and its mechanism

Fresh fruits have good flavor and high nutritional value, but in the postharvest stage they will age decay rapidly, so we need to find green fruit preservatives. And natural organic acids are promising preservatives due their safety effectiveness. The present work reviews recent applications of quality management discussed its potential biochemical mechanisms. This indicates that numerous effective preservatives, such as oxalic acid, salicylic citric ascorbic phenolic acid terpenic acid. Natural treatments can improve quality, reflected by delaying senescence, alleviating chilling injury, controlling disease, inhibiting browning. multiple benefits on fruit. also play a variety roles disease control. In addition, chemical modification cotreatment be performed efficiency preservation applications. provides an important reference for development OAs
