Marian plum (Bouea macrophylla Griff.), an exotic fruit with high commercial potential, has received limited attention in postharvest research. This study evaluated the effects of postharvest methyl jasmonate (MeJA) spray application on the maintenance of physicochemical quality of Marian plums during shelf-life storage under room-temperature (26 ± 1 °C and 70–75% relative humidity) for 12 days. Fruits were treated with MeJA at concentrations of 0 (CK), 0.01, 0.1, and 1 mM. MeJA application did not significantly influence skin colour development and weight loss throughout storage. However, fruit treated with 1 mM MeJA showed reduced visual decay compared with lower concentrations and the CK. Treatments with 0.1 and 1 mM MeJA moderated changes in total soluble solids and titratable acidity, resulting in a higher BrimA index relative to the CK and 0.01 mM treatment. In addition, higher MeJA concentrations delayed fruit softening by slowing insoluble pectin degradation and soluble pectin accumulation during storage. MeJA treatments at 0.1 and 1 mM mitigated oxidative stress by lowering malondialdehyde and lipoxygenase activity, while enhancing antioxidant capacity, total phenolics, and the activities of catalase and ascorbate peroxidase. Pearson’s correlation and principal component analyses confirmed that 0.1 and 1 mM MeJA delayed fruit deterioration by improving antioxidant capacity and preserving texture during shelf life. Overall, these findings suggest that postharvest MeJA application, particularly at 0.1–1 mM, represents a promising and potentially sustainable strategy for extending shelf life and improving the marketability of Marian plum under room-temperature storage.

The current research evaluated the impacts of preharvest salicylic acid (SA), calcium chloride (CaCl2), and SA incorporated with CaCl2 (SA+CaCl2) sprays on the quality of mulberries. In the preliminary experiment, the mulberries were sprayed with SA (0, 1, and 2 mM) or CaCl2 (0, 0.5, and 1%) before harvest for 5 d. The results indicated that the preharvest application of 1 mM SA or 0.5% CaCl2 resulted in the deceleration of the BrimA (a ripening index) increase and hindered fruit softening during storage at 5 °C for 6 d. In the major experiment, the effects of preharvest sprays of 1 mM SA, 0.5% CaCl2, and SA+CaCl2 for 5 d prior to harvest were investigated. All preharvest treatments delayed fruit darkening and acidity reduction compared to the untreated fruits and did not affect redness. The SA+CaCl2 spray delayed fruit darkening and enhanced firmness compared to the individual sprays. The total soluble solids content and BrimA value of treated mulberries were lower than those of untreated fruits. All treatments improved the antioxidant activity and bioactive compounds compared to the untreated fruits. The ferric-reducing antioxidant potential, DPPH radical scavenging activity, total anthocyanin, and total phenol content were all higher with the SA+CaCl2 preharvest spray than with the SA or CaCl2 spray alone. Thus, the preharvest SA+CaCl2 spray is a promising approach for improving Thai dwarf mulberry postharvest quality.

Importance of the work: There has been much attention paid to kratom (Mitragyna speciosa [Korth.] Havil.) since it was declared a legal plant in Thailand. Recently, the demand for fresh leaves has increased; nevertheless, only a few studies have investigated the postharvest quality management of the leaves. Objectives: To examine the impact of chilling stress on the quality and alteration of bioactive compounds in young and mature leaves of two cultivars of commercial kratom leaves: ‘kan khiao’ and ‘hang kang’. Materials and Methods: Fresh kratom leaves of both the kan khiao and hang kang types were sampled from the young and mature leaf stages and stored for 12 d with 85% relative humidity at: 1) 10°C or 2) at room temperature (RT;30°C) . Every 3 d throughout storage, monitoring occurred of the fresh weight loss, superficial leaf color, browning score, electrolyte leakage (EL), malondialdehyde (MDA) content and bioactive compounds (ascorbic acid, antioxidant activity, total phenolic compounds and mitragynine contents). Results: Chilling injury (CI; based on brown stain on the leaf) was discovered in both types of kratom leaves refrigerated at 10°C. In both types, RT storage resulted in less weight loss and browning. Yong leaves lost less weight loss and CI than mature leaves. CI was positively associated with increased EL and MDA levels in leaves kept at 10°C. In both types, the mitragynine content in the mature leaves was higher than in the young leaves. Both types lost mitragynine, ascorbic acid, antioxidant activity and phenolic compounds due to the cold storage condition. Main finding: Cold storage induced chilling stress that resulted in leaf browning due to membrane dysfunction, as well as the loss of bioactive compounds and medicinal components, including mitragynine.

Postharvest quality maintenance and bioactive compounds enhancement in ‘Taaptimjaan’ wax apple during short-term storage by salicylic acid immersion

Physicochemical quality and bioactive compounds of ‘Taaptipjaan’ wax apple (Syzygium samarangenese) that were immersed in 0, 0.5 and 1.0 mM salicylic acid (SA) for 30 min and then stored at 12 ± 1 °C for 9 days were investigated. SA had no effect on the colour of fruit skin, total soluble solids, total acidity, total sugars, ascorbic acid (AsA) and anthocyanin contents but could help maintaining the firmness of the fruit. Antioxidant activity, total phenols, total flavonoids and antioxidant enzymes activities such as peroxidase and catalase were enhanced by SA. The SA immersion at the concentration of 0.5 mM effectively maintained firmness and visual appearance without causing any shrinkage on the fruit top and skin pitting and enhanced the bioactive compounds greater than 1.0 mM SA immersion. The evidences suggest that 0.5 mM SA immersion is an effective approach of maintaining quality and enhancing bioactive compounds including the activities of antioxidant enzymes in the fruit during short-term storage.

The effects of calcium chloride (CaCl<inf>2</inf>) and honey dips were investigated on the quality of fresh-cut nectarines. Nectarine fruit samples at the commercially ripe stage were wedged and then dipped in distilled water, 50% honey, 1% CaCl<inf>2</inf> or 1% CaCl<inf>2</inf> combined with 50% honey solutions, followed by storage at 4 ± 0.5 °C and 90 ± 2% relative humidity for 7 d. The following parameters were investigated during storage: firmness, total soluble solids (TSS), superficial color, color darkening score and index, total phenols content and the enzyme activities of peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase (PPO). CaCl<inf>2</inf> and CaCl<inf>2</inf> + honey solution dips improved the texture and maintained the TSS content. Honey and CaCl<inf>2</inf> + honey suppressed an increase in the color difference. Minor changes were found in color attributes (lightness (L*), hue and chroma values), color darkening, total phenols content and PPO activity during storage. CaCl<inf>2</inf> + honey maintained the quality of the nectarines by delaying color change and firmness loss.
