Abstract:

The postharvest Jiro persimmon fruits from Yunnan were used as the materials to explore the effects of 1-methylcyclopropene, nano-packaging and combinatorial treatments on the quality of postharvest Jiro persimmon fruits during storage at 20 ℃ through the determination of respiration intensity, ethylene release amount, firmness, weight loss, total soluble solids, titratable acids and ascorbic acid. Results indicated that 1.0 μL/L 1-MCP treatment exhibited better efficiency in decreasing respiration intensity, inhibiting ethylene release and attenuating the reduction of firmness for persimmon fruits than nanopackaging. However, compared with 1.0 μL/L 1-MCP treatment, nano-packaging exhibited a better effect on the inhibition of weight loss, attenuation of the increase of titratable acids, and the maintaining of ascorbic acid. Moreover, a synergistic effect was observed in the combinatorial treatment between 1.0 μL/L 1-MCP and nano-packaging, which could extend the storage period of postharvest persimmon fruits from 10 days to 15 days. However, three treatments did not exhibit an obvious influence on total soluble solids.

Key words: persimmon fruit, 1-MCP, nano-packaging, quality
