Surface Moisture Induces Microcracks and Increases Water Vapor Permeance of Fruit Skins of Mango cv. Apple

چکیده
Exposure to surface moisture triggers cuticular microcracking of the fruit skin. In mango cv. apple, compromises postharvest performance by increasing loss and infections with pathogens. This study reports effects exposing fruit’s skin on incidence water vapor permeance. Microcracking was quantified microscopically following infiltration a fluorescent tracer. Water mass determined gravimetrically. Moisture exposure increased During exposure, permeance over first 4 d, remained constant up approximately 8 then decreased for longer times. Fruit development followed sigmoid growth pattern. The rate peaked 103 days after full bloom. coincided peak in moisture-induced microcracking. There were no increases or control that dry. When experimental terminated, decreased. suggests repair process restoring barrier properties Histological analyses reveal periderm forms hypodermis beneath microcrack. Our demonstrates induces apple skin’s russeting.

Data on enterobacteria activity on biofilm formation at surface mango fruit (Mangifera indica L.) cv Ataulfo
Abiotic factors influenced the capacity of the strains to form biofilms. Classification of the adhesion type is related with the optical density measured on the biofilm formation of tested strains. The relationship between the biofilm formation in real values with theoretical values of the strains was used to determine the mechanism involved during mixed cultures.
متن کاملEffect of the moisture content of forced hot air on the postharvest quality and bioactive compounds of mango fruit (Mangifera indica L. cv. Manila).
BACKGROUND The effectiveness of hot air treatments in controlling decay and insects in mango fruit has been demonstrated and has usually been assessed as a function of the temperature of the heated air and the duration of the treatment. However, the contribution of the moisture content of the heated air has received little attention, especially with regard to fruit quality. In this study, mango...

Rates of fruit drop and remaining fruited pan icles were monitored in the field for 96 days beginning on April 1, 1983. More than 90% of total fruit drop occurred within the first 4 wk, and final fruit set was 0.61%. Per centage of fruited panicles remained constant for the first 3 wk, decreasing sharply to 40% by the 6th week, and ending at 11.7% at harvest. Of the fruit which reached maturity...
