Introduction - Chilling injury (CI) is main problem of 'Queen' pineapples during commercial storage (13 °C). The increases in calcium content and antioxidant system enhancement alleviate CI of pineapples. Cyanocobalamin (Cyn) is a novel natural agent inducing antioxidants in postharvest commodities. Therefore, the aim of this work was to investigate the efficiency of simultaneous Cyn and calcium gluconate (Ca-Glu) peduncle infiltration on CI alleviation of 'Queen' pineapple during cold storage. Materials and methods - In the first experiment, the fruits were treated with Cyn at the concentration of 0, 1, 2.5 or 5 µM. In the second experiment, simultaneous 5 µM Cys and 2 or 3% Ca-Glu treatments were determined. Biological parameters related to CI of tissue adjacent to the core were monitored after storage at 13 °C for 7 and 14 d followed by 28 ± 2 °C for 2 d. Results - 5 µM Cyn peduncle infiltration relieved CI and membrane peroxidation rather than other concentrations. The simultaneous 5 µM Cys and 2 or 3% Ca-Glu treatments could alleviate CI symptoms, membrane peroxidation and enzymatic browning reaction and enhance antioxidant activities of tissue adjacent to the core of pineapples during storage. The simultaneous 5 µM Cyn and 3% Ca-Glu treatment enhanced antioxidant activities and alleviated CI of the fruit being greater than simultaneous 5 µM Cyn and 2% Ca-Glu treatment. Conclusion - The simultaneous 5 µM Cyn and 3% Ca-Glu peduncle infiltration was an effective approach alleviating CI of 'Queen' pineapples during commercial storage.

The aim of this work was to investigate the effects of preharvest salicylic acid (SA) or oxalic acid (OX) on quality and internal browning of ‘Queen’ pineapple fruits harvested at different month in year 2015. Visual appearance of half-cut fruit, internal browning (IB) severity score, percentage of fruit number having IB, total soluble solids (TSS), total acidity (TA), ascorbic acid (AsA) contents were determined. The fruits harvested in March had no IB during storage at 25±1°C for 14 days in all treatments. The highest IB severity and the percentage of fruit having IB were found in the fruits harvested in June, especially in control in which IB severity score was 5 and percentage of fruit number having IB was 50%. Preharvest 5 mM SA application could alleviate IB in the fruits during storage and had more effect in reducing IB symptom than 5 mM OX application. Both SA and OX application had no significant effect on the changes in TSS, TA and AsA content of the pineapple fruits. In conclusion, the severity of IB in ‘Queen’ pineapple fruit after harvest depended on the harvesting period and preharvest 5 mM SA application might be an effective alternative alleviating IB during storage.

Duration after harvesting and CaCl2 peduncle infiltration time affecting internal browning during storage of 'Sawi' pineapple fruit

'Sawi' pineapple, a member of the Queen group originating in the south of Thailand, is susceptible to internal browning (IB) when stored at low temperature. The previous studies in 'Trad Srithong' pineapple, another cultivar in the group, suggest that postharvest applications of CaCl<inf>2</inf> were effective to reduce the IB symptoms. This research aimed to study the efficiency of CaCl<inf>2</inf> treatments to reduce IB in 'Sawi' pineapple by varying duration uses and period after harvest. Fruit, after harvest at 3, 6, 12, 24 or 48 h, were infiltrated with 2% CaCl<inf>2</inf> through the peduncle for 0, 3, 6, 12, 24 or 48 h at 13°C. After treatment, fruit were stored at 13°C, 90-95% RH for 14 days and then transferred to 20°C for 3 days. Fruit harvested for 48 h and treated with 2% CaCl<inf>2</inf> for 24 or 48 h was absent in IB symptoms. Duration after fruit harvesting from 6 h especially at 48 h and duration of CaCl<inf>2</inf> treatment above 24 h showed a huge impact in reducing IB symptoms. The longer immersion times elevated the higher content of calcium in the core whereas the longer duration after harvest increased solution uptake rate in the fruit. As a result, this opposes the hypothesis that the fastest time of CaCl<inf>2</inf> application to pineapple fruit after harvest is the most effective in reducing IB.

The development of internal browning (IB) was studied in pineapple fruits treated with CaCl<inf>2</inf> and SrCl<inf>2</inf>. 'Smooth Cayenne', '73-50' and 'Gold' grown in Queensland, Australia were vacuum infiltrated at 30 kPa for 2 min in aqueous solutions of 0.18 M CaCl<inf>2</inf> or 0.18 M SrCl <inf>2</inf>, stored at 13 or 20°C (80-90% RH) for 14 days, and assessed for IB after 3 days at 20°C. In Australian grown 'Smooth Cayenne', black heart (BH), a form of IB is a common disorder found in the fruit maturing during the winter months. Storage at 13°C increased IB in 'Smooth Cayenne' fruit harvested in March, September and December 2007 and in February 2008 but there was a low incidence of IB only in 'Gold' harvested in September 2007. Fruit of '73-50' harvested in September 2007 had a high incidence of IB but no IB developed in fruit of this cultivar harvested in December 2007. Vacuum infiltration did not significantly increase the calcium content in the core or adjacent flesh tissue and treatment with calcium or strontium had no effect on the incidence or severity of IB.
