1-METHYLCYCLOPROPENE DELAYS RIPENING AND IMPROVES POSTHARVEST QUALITY OF WHITE FLESH LOQUAT
2015
The ethylene inhibitor 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) delayed ripening and improved postharvest fruit quality of loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.). 1-MCP was used on the white flesh sub-acid loquat cultivars ‘Claudia’ and ‘BRT20’ to evaluate the possible effect on fruit ripening and to prevent negative effects of cold storage, like internal browning and flesh leatheriness. 1-MCP was applied at 2°C for 20 h and concentrations of 1 and 5 μl L-1. After 1-MCP treatment fruit were held at 2°C for 7, 14, and 21 days and then moved to 18°C for 5 days. Fruit flesh firmness, titratable acidity (TA), total soluble content (TSS), weight loss, internal browning and flesh leatheriness were evaluated at …
Development and application of a new Edible Coating on fruits and fresh-cut fruits.
2014
Il progetto di ricerca ha come scopo il miglioramento della gestione post-raccolta dei frutti (interi e di IV gamma), intervenendo sull’estensione della shelf-life; valutando l’utilizzo di composti provenienti da materiali di scarto delle filiere produttive agroalimentari o risorse alternative da utilizzare come nuovi rivestimenti commestibili (edible coating: EC). La novità riguarda lo sviluppo di un edible coating a partire da residui vegetali di Posidonia oceanica, pianta acquatica mediterranea ampiamente diffusa sulle coste siciliane, responsabile di accumulo di biomassa sulle spiagge. Per soddisfare, in maniera efficace, l’obiettivo iniziale si vorrebbe creare una interazione tra 1-MCP…
