Analysis of the Application of Fungicide and Ethylene Absorbent for Extended Storage Life of Kyoho Grapes at Room Temperature

Abstract

The Kyoho grape is one of the most important varieties of table grapes (Vitis vinifera L.). In this experiment, we used SO2 germicidal bags and ethylene absorbent released pads to discover the effect on the quality of grapes during the storage period. The results showed that the combined use of germicidal bags and ethylene absorbent released pad were able to maintain the sensory, physicochemical, and physiological quality of grapes at a higher level compared with the control group.

Novel strategies to control ethylene in fruit and vegetables for extending their shelf life: A review

“…Although the efficiency of 1-MCP to avoid the ripening process in climacteric fruits is dependent on the concentration and duration of 1-MCP used to saturate ethylene-binding sites, it also relies on the fruit that may recover from 1-MCP blockage to permit normal ripening to occur when needed (Watkins 2006). Zhang et al (2015) reported that 1-MCP released pads in combination with SO 2 germicidal bags can successfully maintain sensory, physicochemical and physiological quality and improve shelf life of Kyoho grapes during storage at ambient conditions at a higher level in comparison to the control group (Zhang et al 2015). Zewter et al (2012) demonstrated that 1-MCP treatment by combining with perforated PE bags was the best of all treatments in retaining the chemical quality and prolonging shelf life during storage at room temperatures, without the occurrence of considerable loss in marketability and freshness quality (Zewter et al 2012).…”

Mechanochemically Scaled-Up Alpha Cyclodextrin Nanosponges: Their Safety and Effectiveness as Ethylene Scavenger

“…Since ethylene was shown to be a plant growth regulator just over 50 years ago [ 7 ], efforts have been made toward an effective ethylene removal approach. Several mechanisms have been studied, including adsorption on clays, zeolites, and different activated carbon nanoforms [ 8 , 9 , 10 ], oxidation using transition metals [ 11 ], photo-oxidation using UV lamps [ 12 ], and gaseous chemical inhibitors, such as 1-methylcyclopropene [ 13 ]. However, the most studied and used approach consists of chemical oxidation by means of potassium permanganate impregnated on high surface area materials such as clays [ 14 ].…”
