Abstract
The current study explored the effects of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) and fresh-keeping mats (FKP) on aroma volatile levels and peel browning (PB) in flat peaches during.
cold storage. Both 1-MCP and FKP treatments prevented PB by inhibiting the activity of polyphenol oxidase, lipoxygenase, and peroxidase; reducing relative electrolytic leakage; and down-regulating malondialdehyde levels, thus increasing the content of unsaturated fatty acids. Although both the 1-MCP and FKP treatments prevented PB, FKP-treated fruit showed a higher content of aromatic compounds, greater fruit firmness, delayed reduction in the soluble solids content, and lower titratable acidity. Correlation and pathway analysis demonstrated that PB was positively correlated with polyphenol oxidase activity, peroxidase activity, relative electrolytic leakage, and malondialdehyde levels. Notably, the reduced peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase activities, relative electrolytic leakage, and malondialdehyde content inhibited PB in flat peaches. These findings show that FKP treatment is a simple and effective strategy for improving the storage quality of flat peaches.
期刊介绍:
Food Chemistry: X, one of three Open Access companion journals to Food Chemistry, follows the same aims, scope, and peer-review process. It focuses on papers advancing food and biochemistry or analytical methods, prioritizing research novelty. Manuscript evaluation considers novelty, scientific rigor, field advancement, and reader interest. Excluded are studies on food molecular sciences or disease cure/prevention. Topics include food component chemistry, bioactives, processing effects, additives, contaminants, and analytical methods. The journal welcome Analytical Papers addressing food microbiology, sensory aspects, and more, emphasizing new methods with robust validation and applicability to diverse foods or regions.
