Abstract:

In order to investigate the effect of 1-methylcyclopropene(1-MCP)on the physiology,storage quality and electronic nose characteristic of Starking delicious apple.Fruits were treated with 1-MCP and then stored at ambient temperature(20±1)℃.Respiration rate,ethylene production rate,fruit intrinsic quality,color difference and the electronic nose response was analyzed during storage.The results showed that the postharvest respiration rate and ethylene release rate of Starking delicious apple increased at first,then decreased after peaking at 10 d and 15 d,respectively.At the same time,fruit firmness and titratable acid(TA)content decreased,soluble solid content(SSC)increased then decreased.Fruit chromaticity varied,a*,b*,C* and ΔE* values increased.1-MCP treatment inhibited fruit respiration rate and ethylene release rate,delayed the decline of fruit firmness,SSC and TA content,inhibited increasing of a*,b*,C* and ΔE*.1-MCP treatment significantly reduced the production of sulfides and terpene compounds(W1W),nitrogen oxides(W5S),organic sulfides and aromatic compounds(W2W),methyl aromatic compounds(W1S),alcohols,aldehydes and ketones aromatic compounds(W2S).Linear discriminant analysis(LDA)combined with electronic nose could distinguish control and 1-MCP fruit at different storage periods.Loading analysis showed that W1W,W5S,W2W,W1S and W2S sensors played key roles in differentiating control and 1-MCP treatment fruit during storage.During ambient temperature storage,1-MCP treatment delayed fruit softening and kept a lower solid-acid ratio,effectively maintained fruit flavor and color of Starking delicious apple.However,1-MCP decreased the response value of sensitive sensors in electronic nose,and inhibited the production of fruit volatile substances.According to correlation analysis,electronic nose sensor response values were significantly correlated with the internal quality and color difference,which may provide a basis for the rapid and nondestructive detection of Starking delicious apple.
