    The aim of this study was to determine the incorporative effects of preharvest boron (B) or calcium sulfate (CaSO<inf>4</inf>) application and postharvest calcium chloride (CaCl<inf>2</inf>) peduncle infiltration on chilling injury (CI) alleviation of Queen pineapple during commercial cold storage (13°C). Pineapple fruits were sprayed with 0.25% B four times a month after one month of anthesis, or CaSO<inf>4</inf> (100 kg per 400 m<sup>2</sup>) was applied during fruit development. The fruits were harvested after 135 days of flower induction. Both preharvest B and treated fruits were then peduncle-infiltrated with 2% CaCl<inf>2</inf> for 3 days and stored at cold temperature (CT) for 14 days. Control fruits were not peduncle-infiltrated with CaCl<inf>2</inf>.Visual appearance of half cut fruit, CI score, the amount of fruit having CI, colour attributes, browning index (BI) value and electrolyte leakage (EL) of tissue adjacent to the core were determined after storage at CT for 7 or 14 days, followed by leaving at room temperature (RT), 28 ± 1°C, for 2 days. The results show that the incorporative application of preharvest CaSO<inf>4</inf> with CaCl<inf>2</inf> peduncle infiltration (CaSO4+CaCl2) alleviated CI, delayed decrease in lightness (L*) and chroma values, and also increased BI and total colour difference (∆E*) values during storage compared with control and the incorporative application of preharvest B with CaCl<inf>2</inf> treatment (B + CaCl<inf>2</inf>). The treatment with CaSO<inf>4</inf> + CaCl<inf>2</inf> lowered CI severity and the amount of fruit having CI when compared to B + CaCl<inf>2</inf> and control treatments, respectively. Both treatments had no effect on the hue value over the storage period. Therefore, CaSO<inf>4</inf> + CaCl<inf>2</inf> treatment is an alternative method for alleviating CI of Queen pineapples.

    This study determined the effects of calcium chloride (CaCl<inf>2</inf>) and calcium gluconate (CaGlu) in alleviating the incidence of internal browning (IB) in ‘Queen’ pineapple (Ananas comosus) cv. ‘Sawi’ during storage at 13 °C. Pineapples were vertically peduncle-infiltrated with 2% CaCl<inf>2</inf> or 2% CaGlu for 48 h. IB and browning-related factors of tissue adjacent to the core were investigated after 7 and 14 days of cold storage followed by 2 days at room temperature. CaGlu treatment alleviated IB intensity and severity more effectively than CaCl<inf>2</inf>. CaCl<inf>2</inf> and CaGlu retarded membrane peroxidation and the activity of browning enzymes such as phenylalanine ammonia-lyase and polyphenol oxidase and increased the total phenols in the fruit. However, CaGlu-treated fruit had lower levels of tissue electrolyte leakage and lipoxygenase activity and higher antioxidant capacity and antioxidant enzyme activity. This evidence suggests that CaGlu peduncle infiltration is the preferred choice for alleviating IB in ‘Queen’ pineapple during low temperature storage.
