Effects of Carbon Dioxide and Ethylene Treatment on Scald Development in Apple Fruit

Abstract

|
|
Among the internal gases, the concentration of carbon dioxide showed little change, but ethylene increased rapidly during the maturing period of `Fuji´ apple fruit (Malus domestica Borkh.). α-Farnesene and farnesene hydroperoxide maintained very low level during fruit development. The internal ethylene concentration was lower in the CO₂treated fruit during storage. The CO₂ treatment tended to decrease the autoxidation of α-farnesene. Both ethylene and CO₂ concentrations produced from the ethylene-treated fruit were higher than those of the control fruit. The α-farnesene and farnesene hydroperoxide concentrations of ethylene-treated fruit increased during the first stage of storage, but those of ethylene-scrubbed fruit remained low. The apples treated with ethylene were more significant in scald incidence than those of other treatments. Both CO₂ and ethylene treatments tended to increase the phenolic content of skin tissues but reduce the polyphenoloxidase (PPO) activity in the middle of storage period.
