Background Owing to the postharvest mass loss in most tropical and subtropical fruits and
vegetables caused by chilling injury (CI), it is necessary to look for effective technologies to …

Background Sensory analysis is the evaluation of the signals received through senses of
sight, sound, taste, smell, and touch. The traditional methods for the analysis of sensory …

Peach fruit deteriorates and senesces quickly during storage at ambient temperature.
Research confirms that melatonin (MT) is involved in plant senescence. However, little …

Abstract Effects of 0.1 mM melatonin (MT) on chilling injury (CI), membrane fatty acid content
and phenolic metabolism in peach fruit were studied during storage at 1° C for 28 days. MT …

Due to the adverse impacts of climate change on earth systems the research in this field has
been profoundly taken a part in all scientific arenas since last few decades. The deleterious …

Glycine betaine (GB) treatment is useful to reduce chilling injury (CI) of several kinds of fruits
including peach. However, the regulatory mechanism remains unknown. In this study, peach …

Background Precooling is a critical step in the postharvest cold chain. Studies of the
precooling of fruit and vegetables are based on the strong interactions between modelling …

Melatonin has been reported to alleviate chilling symptoms in postharvest peach fruit during
cold storage, however, the mechanism involved is largely unknown. To better understand its …

Peach fruit stored in the cold are susceptible to chilling injury. A pre-storage treatment with
the natural hormone salicylic acid can alleviate chilling damage, although the mechanism is …

Peach is the most important temperate fruit crop worldwide in terms of production after
apple. However, a descending trend has been registered over the recent years in several …
