    In this study, we investigated the impact of rainfall rate and temperature during fruit development on chilling injury (CI) of Queen pineapples (Ananas comosus L. Merr) after cold storage at 13 °C. The pineapples were induced to flower in October 2016 and May 2017. Rainfall and field temperature during fruit development were recorded. The fruit were harvested in March 2017 and October 2017 (135 d after anthesis), respectively. Visual appearance, CI score, lightness (L*) value, parameters related to membrane integrity, and the activities of enzymes related to browning of the tissue adjacent to the core were monitored in the fruit after 7 and 14 d of cold storage followed by room temperature storage (27 ± 1 °C) (RT) for 2 d. High CI incidence was associated with high rainfall rather than the field temperature (approx. 27–29 °C) during fruit development. The fruit harvested in March experienced higher rainfall during fruit development than the fruit harvested in October. The CI severity of the fruit harvested in March was greater than that of fruit harvested in October. The higher CI severity of the fruit harvested in March was accompanied with reduced membrane integrity as well as enzymatic browning compared to the fruit harvested in October. In conclusion, high rainfall during fruit development is a major factor for CI of Queen pineapple grown in tropical zones. The results of this investigation provide insight into the causes underlying the loss of fruit quality during storage and marketing.

    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.

    Chilling injury (CI) is the main problem affecting quality of Queen pineapple (Ananas comosus L.) fruit during cold storage. The purpose of this paper was to investigate the application of acetyl salicylate (ASA) on CI alleviation of pineapple fruit cv. Sawi during storage at 13 ± 1 °C for 10 d. The pineapples were dipped in ASA solution at the concentrations of 2.5 or 5.0 mM for 1, 2 or 3 h and untreated fruits were used as control treatment. The biochemical-related parameters to CI incidence of tissue adjoining to the core were determined after the fruits were left at 25 °C for 2 d. The results show that 5.0 mM ASA immersion for 1 h alleviated internal browning incidence and lowered CI score compared to other treatments. The treatment also maintained high lightness (L*) value and low colour difference (ΔE*) value of tissue adjoining to the core. Compared to control treatment, the 5.0 mM ASA immersion lowered browning index, malondialdehyde concentration, polyphenol oxidase activity and TP concentration as well as increased antioxidant capacity and ascorbic acid concentrations of tissue adjoining to the core. Therefore, 5.0 mM ASA immersion for 1 h is an effective alternative alleviating CI of Queen pineapples during cold storage.
