    In peach, which is a climacteric fruit species, the fruit deteriorates rapidly at post harvest with the increase in ethylene production and respiration rate during ripening, and significant changes occur in quality properties and antioxidant activity. In the study, the effect of melatonin applications at different doses (0, 0.10, 0.25, 0.50 and 1.00 mM) at postharvest on fruit quality characteristics and biochemical content during cold storage was determined. The increased weight loss and decay rate with the prolongation of the cold storage period were lower in melatonin-treated fruit and varied depending on the application concentration. Melatonin application was effective in maintaining fruit flesh firmness, but application concentration had no effect. An increase in soluble solids content (SSC) ratio and a decrease in acidity occurred during storage, and changes in SSC and titratable acidity ratios were lower with melatonin application. In general, melatonin application was effective in maintaining the concentration of organic acids, but this effect varied depending on the concentration and compound. As a result, it was concluded that 0.25 mM melatonin application can be used to maintain the postharvest fruit quality of peach.

    Use of spermidine to preserve organic acids, polyphenols, and quality of cold stored plum fruits
    (Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2023) Gündoğdu, Müttalip; Güler, Emrah; Ağlar, Erdal; Arslan, Tuncer; Kan, Tuncay; Çelik, Kenan
    One of the primary goals of fruit production and storage is to ensure pre-and post-harvest food quality. Polyamines have recently been used to improve food quality after harvest. We used spermidine concentrations of 0.5, 1, and 1.5 mM in plum fruits for 20 and 40 days of cold storage. Each dose provided significantly higher preservation of sensory properties, organic acids, and phenolic compounds than the control, with a gradual improvement by doses. Malic acid was the predominant organic acid and was gradually preserved by spermidine doses, including 25% more malic acid for the 1.5 mM spermidine treatment. Similarly, chlorogenic acid, the most abundant phenolic compound studied, was also 25% higher when the spermidine dose rose to 1.5 mM. The 1.5 mM spermidine notably inhibited weight loss and respiration rate. Organic acids and phenolic compounds were particularly protected by the 1 and 1.5 mM doses, and multivariate approaches suggested that spermidine has a comprehensive stability effect on secondary metabolites. This study proposes spermidine as a comprehensive metabolic preserver that protects polyphenols and organic acids, thus preserving the taste and healthiness of cold-stored plum fruits.
