“…Botrytis cinerea is able to infect stored pomegranates by mycelia spread from infected fruit to adjacent healthy fruit, causing ‘nests’ of decay. Gray mold development is favored by usual pomegranate non‐chilling storage conditions of 5–10 °C and >90% RH, and losses due to this disease of up to 30% of harvested pomegranates when no postharvest fungicides were applied have been reported in California …”

Postharvest biology and technology of pomegranate

Pomegranate is a subtropical and tropical fruit of great importance from a health point of view. Despite increasing consumer awareness of the health benefits of pomegranate, consumption of the fruit is still limited owing to poor postharvest handling, storage recommendations, short shelf life and quality deterioration during transportation, storage and marketing. The occurrence of physiological disorders such as husk scald, splitting and chilling injury is another challenge reducing marketability and consumer acceptance. Recently, notable work on postharvest biology and technology has been done. Pomegranate is highly sensitive to low-oxygen (<5 kPa) atmospheres, chilling injury and decay. One of the major problems associated with pomegranate fruit is excessive weight loss, which may result in hardening of the husk and browning of the rind and arils. To reduce chilling injury incidence and to extend storability and marketing of pomegranates, good results were obtained with polyamine, heat, salicylic acid, methyl jasmonate or methyl salicylate treatments prior to cold storage. This article reviews the maturity indices, changes during maturation and ripening, postharvest physiology and technology of pomegranate fruit as well as the various postharvest treatments for maintaining fruit quality.

“…Despite the fact that B. cinerea infections occur mostly during and after the bloom period, a limited number of fruit infections will develop in the field. Most of the infections remain latent until fruit matures during storage, rendering pomegranates more susceptible and resulting in severe crop losses (Tedford et al, 2005). Part of the pomegranate gray mold developed preharvest is probably due to surface-borne inoculum infecting through rind injuries.…”

“…Natural incidence of decay of pomegranates has been shown to be signifi cantly reduced to 0-8% after two or fi ve months of storage at 10 °C in fruit treated with fl udioxonil (FLU) (Adaskaveg and Förster, 2003). FLU, being a synthetic analogue of pyrrolnitrin (Rosslenbroich and Stuebler, 2000), belonging to the class of phenylpyrroles, and has recently registered for controling postharvest decay of pomegranates and other horticultural crops in the USA (Tedford et al , 2005).…”

Postharvest Biology and Technology of Tropical and Subtropical Fruits

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

During the past decade, research and development activities on pomegranate fruit were focused on the application of new postharvest storage technologies to extend the storage life and keeping the original quality of the freshly harvested fruits. These technologies included use of fungicides to control decay, and modifi ed atmosphere packaging or controlled atmosphere storage to maintain postharvest quality and to alleviate chilling injury symptoms which occur during the storage of pomegranates below 5-7 °C, depending on the variety and storage duration. Today, consumption of fresh pomegranates and their juice is booming due to the mounting evidence about their health benefi ts. Pomegranate juice processing allows the use of fruits with external defects that do not infl uence aril quality. These fruits and the remaining tissues after juice extraction may be used for preparation of new products, such as fl avonoids capsules and other nutraceuticals. This chapter provides an overview of postharvest biology and technology of pomegranates in relation to maintaining their quality between harvest and fresh consumption or processing.
