Abstract:

Katy fruits (Prunus armeniaca L.) were treated with spermine of various concentrations, and the changes of hardness, soluble solid content, relative membrane permeability and ethylene release were determined during their storage under low temperature. Results showed that in 0.2 mmol/L spermine-treated katy fruits, hardness and soluble solid content were well kept, and relative membrane permeability was improved, while ethylene release increased in all spermine-treated katy fruits.

Key words: spermine, Katy fruits (Prunus armeniaca L.), soluble solid content, ethylene release
