Abstract
The postharvest phase is an important step in the fruit production chain. Fig is an especially perishable fruit, which has encouraged researchers to study the effects of various substances on the postharvest life of this commodity. The objective of the present work was to evaluate the effects of calcium chloride (CaCl2) and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) on the postharvest quality of the ‘Roxo-de-Valinhos’ fig cultivar. This study aimed to verify the effects of applying a 4% solution of CaCl2 and a 1% solution of 1-MCP to figs and evaluating at four different storage times (0, 2, 4, and 6 days). The results showed that a 4% solution of CaCl2 promoted better firmness, and when CaCl2 at 4% was applied in combination with 1-MCP at 10 μg l-1, the maturation index increased. In contrast, the 1-MCP treatment alone did not improve the postharvest quality of ‘Roxo-de-Valinhos’ ripe fig. We conclude that application of 4% solution of CaCl2 and 1-MPC at 10 µg l-¹ promote firmness and increase maturation index of 'Roxo-de-Valinos' figs.
采后阶段是水果生产链中的重要一步。无花果是一种特别容易腐烂的水果,这鼓励研究人员研究各种物质对这种商品采后寿命的影响。本工作的目的是评估氯化钙(CaCl2)和1-甲基环丙烯(1-MCP)对‘Roxo de Valinhos’无花果品种采后品质的影响。本研究旨在验证向无花果施用4%CaCl2溶液和1%1-MCP溶液的效果,并在四个不同的储存时间(0、2、4和6天)进行评估。结果表明,4%的CaCl2溶液促进了更好的硬度,当4%的CaCl_2与10μg l-1的1-MCP联合使用时,成熟指数增加。相反,单独的1-MCP处理并不能改善“Roxo de Valinos”成熟无花果的采后质量。
期刊介绍:
Advances in Horticultural Science aims to provide a forum for original investigations in horticulture, viticulture and oliviculture. The journal publishes fully refereed papers which cover applied and theoretical approaches to the most recent studies of all areas of horticulture - fruit growing, vegetable growing, viticulture, floriculture, medicinal plants, ornamental gardening, garden and landscape architecture, in temperate, subtropical and tropical regions. Papers on horticultural aspects of agronomic, breeding, biotechnology, entomology, irrigation and plant stress physiology, plant nutrition, plant protection, plant pathology, and pre and post harvest physiology, are also welcomed. The journal scope is the promotion of a sustainable increase of the quantity and quality of horticultural products and the transfer of the new knowledge in the field. Papers should report original research, should be methodologically sound and of relevance to the international scientific community. AHS publishes three types of manuscripts: Full-length - short note - review papers. Papers are published in English.
