Abstract:
In order to investigate the effects of different controlled atmosphere storage conditions on the postharvest preservation of kiwifruit,the Xuxiang kiwifruit were stored under the 4 different controlled atmosphere(2% O
2+3% CO
2,2% O
2+5% CO
2,5% O
2+3% CO
2,5% O
2+5% CO
2)with the temperature 0℃. The fruit hardness,soluble protein contents,vitamin C contents,total phenol contents,malonaldehyde(MDA)contents,peroxidase(POD)activity and polyphenol oxidase(PPO)activity were detected to evaluate the preservation effect. As the results,controlled atmosphere storage effectively maintained fruit hardness,delayed the decline of soluble solids,vitamin C and total phenol contents,inhibited the increasing of MDA content and PPO activity,maintained the higher level of POD activity,which effectively prolonged the storage period of kiwifruit. In summary,2% O
2+5% CO
2 had the best fresh-keeping effect,which could maintain the quality of the kiwifruit,increasing the contents of antioxidants,and delay the aging rate of fruit.
