Abstract:

Peach is a highly corrosive fruit with a short shelf life (less than 7 days at room temperature)susceptible to diseases, pathogens and physical damage. The storage or marketable life ofhorticultural crops can be extended by various treatments applied to them after and/or beforeharvesting. Fruits are usually treated with a range of materials [(e.g. salicylic acid (SA)] toimprove their appearance or delay deterioration. In the present study, effects of pre-harvesttreatment of SA (1, 2, and 4 mM) and iron sequestrine (Fe) (5 and 10 mg L-1) on antioxidantcapacity, ion leakage, ethylene production, ascorbic acid and carotenoids content of peachfruit (Prunus persica L. Batsch cv. Za'ferani) were examined. The results showed that Fe andSA treatments are effective methods for alleviating ion leakage, weight loss and ethyleneproduction in peach fruit during cold storage. Application of 4.0 mM SA and 10.0 mg L-1 Fewere the most effective treatments to maintain fruits quality parameters. SA and Fe treatmentsmaintained peach fruits quality parameters until 40 days. These results suggest that the SAand Fe treatment are useful materials with potential postharvest application for reducingethylene production, maintain quality, and improve the health benefits of peach fruit byincreasing its antioxidant capacity.

Effect of Postharvest treatments of GABA and salicylic acid in antioxidant quality and marketability of Strawberry

Strawberry is highly perishable with huge post-harvest losses. So preserving quality and increasing in storability by using of safe compounds is important. In this case, the effect of salicylic acid and GABA (0, 0.5 and 1 mM) as a factorial experiment in completely randomized design were analyzed on longevity and qualitative and biochemical traits of strawberry during 7 and 14 after cold storag...

Effect of post-harvest salicylic acid treatments on fruit quality of peach cv. "Flordaprince" during cold storage

Peach [Prunus persica (L.) Bastch.] "cv. Flordaprince" fruits at commercial maturity were immersed in 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mM salicylic acid (SA) solution for 10 min, stored at 0 ◦ C for 28 days, then moved to 20 ◦C for 3 days to simulate shelf life. Fruit weight losses, firmness, TSS, acidity, Vit.C, sugars, anthocyanin, total phenols and two enzymes namely peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase act...
