Sweet cherry is a highly appreciated seasonal fruit with high content of bioactive compounds; however, this perishable has relatively short shelf-life period. Here, we evaluated the evolution physicochemical and sensory qualities sweet cherries (Prunus avium (L.) cv. Satin) under different storage conditions, namely at Farmers’ Organization (FO) in Research Centre (RC) normal four conditions co...

Sweet cherry, a non-climacteric fruit, is usually cold-stored during post-harvest to prevent over-ripening. The aim of the study was to evaluate the role of abscisic acid (ABA) on fruit growth and ripening of this fruit, considering as well its putative implication in over-ripening and effects on quality. We measured the endogenous concentrations of ABA during the ripening of sweet cherries (Pr...

Sweet cherry fruits (Prunus avium cvs. 'Canada Giant', 'Ferrovia') were harvested at commercial maturity stage and analyzed at harvest and after maintenance at room temperature (storage at ∼20°C, shelf life) for 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 days, respectively. Fruit were initially analyzed for respiration rate, qualitative attributes and textural properties: 'Canada Giant' fruit were characterized by high...

The effects of edible chitosan coating (0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5% and 0.75% w/v) on the changes in quality, respiration rate, total phenolic content anthocyanin postharvest sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) at 10 °C were investigated. activities superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) ascorbate peroxidase (APX) also determined. result showed that treatments effective delaying evolution parameters relate...
