Exogenous Carbon Monoxide Treatment Delayed the Ethanol Metabolism and Fruit Softening of Postharvest Jujube
Abstract
Toinvestigate the effect of exogenous carbon monoxide (CO) treatment onthe ethanol metabolism and fruit softening of postharvest jujube duringstorage period, the winter jujube was fumigated with 10μmol·L-1CO.The content variations of pyruvic acid, ethanol and acetaldehyde, and theactivities of ADH and LDH of postharvest jujube were investigated. Meanwhile,the fruit firmness, the content changes of insoluble and soluble pectin, andthe activities of PG, PE and Cx were also researched. Theexperimental results showed that treating jujube with 10μmol·L-1 COmight restrain the activities of PDC, ADH and LDH, and reduce the accumulationsof pyruvate, acetaldehyde and ethanol content of postharvest jujube duringstorage period. In addition, CO treatment could also restrain the activities ofPE, PG and Cx, reduce the hydrolysis of insoluble pectin and the increase ofsoluble pectin content, and postpone the decrease of jujube firmness.Therefore, exogenous CO treatment could restrain the ethanol metabolism ofpostharvest jujube during storage owing to anaerobic respiration andaccordingly delayed fruit ferment and softening. It probably becomes aneffective measure for jujube and other fruit preservation in the future.References
