Development of Internal Browning in Fuji Apples during Storage
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fuji apples may develop the physiological disorders core flush or flesh browning during cold storage in air (RA) or controlled atmosphere (CA) (Argenta et al., 2000). Core flush is a symptom of senescence characterized by yellow-brown discoloration in the core (Wilkinson and Fidler, 1973). In Fuji apples, flesh browning (Photo 1) resembles senescent breakdown because the diffuse, light brown discoloration develops initially in the outer portion of the cortex tissue and is often associated with browning of the vascular tissues.

INTRODUCTION Firmness and titratable acidity retention in 'Fuji' and 'Braeburn' apples is enhanced by controlled atmosphere (CA) storage (Elgar et al., 1998, Argenta et al., 2002). However, these cultivars are susceptible to development of internal browning with characteristics of CO2-related injuries including brown-heart and cavities in the flesh (Meheriuk et al., 1994; Elgar et al., 1998). T...
متن کاملNovel Browning Inhibitor Formulation for Fresh-cut Apples
Development of a browning inhibitor for fresh-cut apples that would not support human pathogen survival was investigated. Granny Smith and Fuji wedges were treated with acidic or neutral browning inhibitors with and without addition of sodium hexametaphosphate. Wedges in modified atmosphere packaging pouches were observed for browning during storage at 4 °C and 10 °C. A pH 2.9 dip containing as...
متن کاملDelaying establishment of controlled atmosphere or CO2 exposure reduces ‘Fuji’ apple CO2 injury without excessive fruit quality loss
Storage of ‘Fuji’ apple fruit in a high CO2 (3 kPa) and low O2 (1.5 kPa) controlled atmosphere (CA) reduced firmness and titratable acidity (TA) loss during long term storage. This CA environment also induced development of internal CO2-injury (brown-heart) and slowed the disappearance of watercore. The symptoms of internal CO2-injury were first detected 15 days after CA establishment and the s...
متن کاملEffects of Harvest Date on Apple Fruit Quality at Harvesting and after Cold Storage
Different dates for apples fruit harvest (Malus domestica Borkh. Cv. Fuji) were studied to determine physiochemical changes during the storage. Fuji apples were harvested from 9 September till 23 October, at five different times and stored at 0±0.5 °C and 95% relative humidity for 120 days. To determine the best harvest date for maximum quality and storability, physical and chemical paramet...
متن کاملImpact of watercore on gas permeance and incidence of internal disorders in ‘Fuji’ apples
The impacts of watercore on incidence of internal disorders and other physiological characteristics of ‘Fuji’ apples (Malus domestica Borkh) were determined following short-term exposure at 20 °C in 20 kPa CO2 (high pCO2) or long-term storage at 0.5 °C in 0.5 kPa O2+0.05 kPa CO2 (low pCO2) or 1.5 kPa O2+3 kPa CO2 (medium pCO2). CO2-injury (brown-heart) occurred in apples exposed to high pCO2 or...
