文摘为延长‘红丰’梨采后贮藏保鲜期,提升果实贮藏品质,该试验采用不同厚度聚乙烯膜包装经0.4μL/L 1-甲基环丙烯(1-methylcyclopropene,1-MCP)保鲜剂处理后的‘红丰’梨果实,于冷藏期间测定果实相关指标,探索适宜聚乙烯膜包装厚度。结果表明,0.015 mm聚乙烯(polyethylene,PE)膜包装可有效维持果实硬度,延缓果皮转黄,延缓可溶性固形物和可滴定酸含量的增加,有效抑制总酚含量降低,降低果肉褐变指数,有效抑制丙二醛含量和相对电导率的增加,抑制多酚氧化酶活性,促进抗氧化关键酶活性。因此,0.015 mm PE膜包装可通过一定程度上维持细胞膜完整性,降低膜脂氧化程度,提高果实抗氧化能力从而延缓1-MCP处理果实衰老和果肉褐变。该试验为‘红丰’梨采后贮藏保鲜方式研究奠定了理论基础。
文摘为了探究不同厚度PE膜自发气调包装对李果实采后贮藏期间品质的影响,以蜜橘李果实为试验材料,采用0.01、0.015、0.02、0.025 mm等4种厚度PE膜包装,置于(0±0.5)℃冷库中贮藏,定期测定果实硬度、可溶性固形物含量、可滴定酸含量、气体成分、相对电导率、失重率等指标。结果表明:蜜橘李果实用0.02 mm PE膜包装贮藏效果最佳,O_(2)体积分数维持在13.2%~13.9%,CO_(2)体积分数在2.8%~3.7%;此微环境条件下,果实硬度、可溶性固形物含量和可滴定酸含量下降减缓,相对电导率的增加减缓,重量损失减少,有效保持果实品质,果实贮藏期比对照可延长7 d。
