    The aim of this study was to investigate the competency of pre-process anoxia treatment on physicochemical quality of fresh-cut pineapples cv. ‘Phulae’ during storage. The fruits were kept in anoxia atmosphere (N<inf>2</inf>) for 16 h before processing. The fruits were processed immediately after treatment (G1) and after storage at 13 °C for 6 days (G2). Anoxia treatment delayed the weight loss and had no effect on the L* value of both G1 and G2 fresh-cut pineapples. The yellowness (b*) value of G1 fresh-cut pineapple was maintained by anoxia. The PPO activity of anoxia-treated G1 and G2 fresh-cut pineapples was lower than that of untreated fresh-cut fruits (control). Total sugars contents of both G1 and G2 anoxia-treated fresh-cut pineapples trended to be higher than that of control samples. Anoxia had no influence on the total ascorbic acid content during storage. The increases in total bacteria and yeast of both G1 and G2 fresh-cut pineapples were retarded by anoxia. In conclusion, anoxia is a feasible alternative to maintaining quality and delaying microbial increases in fresh-cut pineapples during storage.

    The effects of short-term anoxia exposure for 16 h on physicochemical changes of ‘Phulae’ pineapple fruit stored at ambient temperature (25 ± 2 °C) were investigated. The respiratory rate of the fruit was induced by the anoxia treatment. However, it retarded the increase in moisture loss and maintained both flesh and pulp colour by inhibiting polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity of the both tissues. The anoxia exposure delayed the increase in total sugar content and enhanced total ascorbic acid content during storage. The half-cut pineapple fruit showed that the anoxia exposure completely inhibited internal transparency of the flesh tissue adjacent to core during the storage. In conclusion, the short-term anoxia exposure for 16 h maintained postharvest quality, retarded physiological disorder and enhanced nutritional values of the pineapple fruit stored at ambient temperature (25 ± 2 °C).
