Aroma volatile biosynthesis in apples affected by 1-MCP and methyl jasmonate
نویسندگان
چکیده
Effects of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), 2-chloroethyl phosphonic acid (ethephon), and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) on production of aroma volatile compounds and ethylene by ‘Delicious’ and ‘Golden Delicious’ apples [Malus sylvestris (L.) Mill. var. domestica (Borkh.) Mansf.] during ripening were investigated. Forty-four volatile compounds in ‘Delicious’ and 40 compounds in ‘Golden Delicious’ were detected. Among volatiles classified as alcohols, esters, ketones, aldehydes, acetic acid, and -farnesene, esters were the most prevalent compounds, followed by alcohols. Aroma volatile production was high in untreated controls and ethephon treatment. Volatile production by 1-MCP-treated fruit was lower compared with untreated controls throughout the evaluation period. The impact of MeJA application on volatile production was cultivar dependent. The combination of ethephon with MeJA reduced volatile production by ‘Delicious’ compared with ethephon only, but this treatment combination stimulated volatile production by ‘Golden Delicious’ with the exception of esters. In general, the effect of MeJA o M o ©

The Effect of Postharvest Methyl Jasmonate Treatment on Ethylene Biosynthesis, Antioxidant Capacity and Shelf Life of Strawberry
Strawberry is one of the highly consumed fruits which are cultivated in wide areas of the world. The most important problem of the strawberry is low storability and high postharvest losses; hence, more than 50% of harvested fruit is lost in Iran. The purpose of this research was to investigate biochemical and shelf life reaction of Camarosa cultivar to different concentrations of methyl jasmona...

Regulation of ethylene biosynthesis or action has a major effect on volatiles production in apples. To understand the biochemical processes involved, we used Greensleeves apples from a transgenic line with a high suppression of ethylene biosynthesis. The study was focused at the level of the aroma volatile-related enzymes, including alcohol acyltransferase (AAT), alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), an...
متن کاملBiochemistry of Apple Aroma: A Review.
Flavour is a key quality attribute of apples defined by volatile aroma compounds. Biosynthesis of aroma compounds involves metabolic pathways in which the main precursors are fatty and amino acids, and the main products are aldehydes, alcohols and esters. Some enzymes are crucial in the production of volatile compounds, such as lipoxygenase, alcohol dehydrogenase, and alcohol acyltransferase. C...

INTRODUCTION Firmness and titratable acidity retention in 'Fuji' and 'Braeburn' apples is enhanced by controlled atmosphere (CA) storage (Elgar et al., 1998, Argenta et al., 2002). However, these cultivars are susceptible to development of internal browning with characteristics of CO2-related injuries including brown-heart and cavities in the flesh (Meheriuk et al., 1994; Elgar et al., 1998). T...
