    The efficiency of calcium chloride (CaCl2) or calcium gluconate (Ca-Glu) immersion on physicochemical quality and bioactive compounds of ready-to-cook baby corns during cold storage at 4 ± 1ºC for 7 d was investigated. Baby corns were immersed in 1% (w/v) CaCl2, 1% (w/v) Ca-Glu or distilled water (control) for 1 min. The biological parameters such as superficial colour attributes, weight loss, texture, pectin fractions, antioxidant activities and bioactive compounds of baby corns were determined. Both calcium immersions did not affect superficial the colour attributes of the baby corn compared to the control sample during storage. Baby corn texture was maintained by calcium immersions, with CaCl2 evidently better maintaining texture compared to Ca-Glu. The texture maintenance by calcium immersions was associated with the retardation of increased EDTA-soluble pectin content and decreased Na2CO3-soluble pectin content. Ca-Glu immersion exhibited the enhancement of antioxidant activity and the concentrations of total phenols and ascorbic acid as well as the retention of free radical scavenging activity and flavonoid content during storage. In conclusion, 1% Ca-Glu immersion is a feasible alternative for maintaining texture and enhanced nutritional value of ready-to-cook baby corns during storage.

    The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of ultraviolet-C (UV-C) irradiation on the changes in total sugars concentration and texture of ready to cook baby corn during cold storage. The baby corns were irradiated with UV-C at the dose of 0 (control), 2.2, 4.4 and 6.6 kJ m<sup>−2</sup> and then stored at 5 ± 1 °C for 7 days. The results showed that the losses of total sugars were delayed by UV-C irradiation treatments. All the UV-C treatments significantly maintained the firmness of the treated baby corn samples and prevented the increase in electrolyte leakage, especially at 4.4 kJ m<sup>−2</sup>. Compared to control sample, the 4.4 kJ m<sup>−2</sup> UV-C irradiated baby corn retarded the depolymerisation of pectin substances by suppressing the polygalacturonase and pectin methyl esterase activities. Therefore, the dose of 4.4 kJ m<sup>−2</sup> could be a feasible alternative UV-C treatment maintaining texture and the total sugar concentration of ready to cook baby corn during commercial storage.

    The object was to investigate the change of texture, cell wall hydrolases and cell wall components in muskmelon fruit (Cucumis melo var. reticulatus) during storage. The fruit were stored at 25±3°C for 8 days. Ethylene production, texture and cell wall hydrolases, namely pectinmethylesterase (PME), polygalacturonase (PG), β-galactosidase (β-Gal), and galactanase, and cell wall components such as, uronic acid and non-cellulosic neutral sugars content were determined. The typical ethylene production as a climacteric fruit was shown. The firmness decreased significantly throughout storage (p ≤ 0.05). A decrease in PME activity was detected throughout storage. PG and β-Gal activities increased during storage. A marked increase in galactanase activity was detected during storage (P≤ 0.05). A single isoform of β-Gal (isoform I) was found in unripe fruit (day 0), whilst two isoforms (isoform I and II) were present in ripe fruit (day 8). High galactanase activity was associated with β-Gal isoform II; whereas galactanase activity associated with isoform I was low and similar in both the unripe and ripe fruit. Uronic acid in CDTA-soluble fraction increased significantly whilst those of Na<inf>2</inf> CO<inf>3</inf>-soluble fraction decreased significantly during storage (P ≤ 0.05). A high proportion of galactose was detected in all fractions and it declined during storage. These indicate that the loss of muskmelon texture is associated with the modification of pectin polymers and galactanase activity might be a key cell wall hydrolase in the fruit softening.
