“…It was observed, comparing green and mature fruits, that there was a change in color from light green to light yellow; and regarding the maturation of the fruits, an increase of almost twice in the value of Chroma occurred. These results are in agreement with those obtained by Huyskens-Keil et al (2006), with mean Chroma values ranging from 25 to 30, but they also verified that there was a decrease at the end of the storage by 21 days when the senescence stage began.…”

Pepino dulce (Solanum muricatum Aiton) or Pepino has been growing to produce edible, juicy and attractive fruits. The imported fruits and national small scale of Pepino dulce production are currently stored and commercialized under the absence of postharvest handling recommendations. Therefore, this work aimed to evaluate the quality aspects of Pepino dulce fruits in distinct ripening stages, forms of packaging and conditions of storage. The trial was conducted in a 2x2x2 factorial scheme - 2 ripening stages (ripe and immature) x 2 forms of packaging (with and without wrapping in plastic film) x 2 conditions of storage (room: 25 °C ± 2 ºC and 57% ± 5% of relative humidity (RH); cold: under refrigeration 10 °C ± 2 °C and 85% ± 5% of RH) – in a complete randomized block design. Fruit quality attributes, such as vitamin C, chemical and phenolic content, fruit color (mesocarp), firmness, dry matter content, total titratable acidity (TA), total soluble solids and pH, were evaluated. Fruits showed a centesimal composition with low calories and a significant content of potassium (K), phosphorus (P) and magnesium (Mg), which can contribute to the daily supply of these elements. For commercialization purposes, the association of packaging (plastic wrapping film) and refrigerated storage (cold: 10 °C ± 2 °C and 85% ± 5% of RH) to maintain the characteristics of fruit quality after a 15 days period is more important than its individual use.

“…The same positive results of controlled atmosphere storage of nectarine (Zhou et al, 2000) and pepino apple fruit Solanum muricatum (Ait.) have been obtained by Huyskens-Keil et al (2006). The activity of many of these enzymes, in turn, is strongly affected by controlled atmosphere conditions.…”

In this study, we evaluated the influence of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) treatment and ultra-low oxygen (ULO)-controlled atmosphere conditions: 2.0% CO 2 and 1.0% O 2 (ULO1), and 2.5% CO 2 and 1.5% O 2 (ULO2) on the changes in chemical composition in the apples of one of the commercially available and the most consumerpreferred cultivar 'Auksis' during long-term storage. This study was conducted from 2012 to 2014 at the Institute of Horticulture, Latvia University of Agriculture in Dobele. The results of the current research evidence that in many cases the chemical composition of 'Auksis' apples depends on the weather conditions (growing season) and storage technology. In terms of storage technology, a better preservation of soluble solids was achieved when ULO conditions and 1-MCP treatment were applied. Moreover, findings reveal that polyphenols present in 'Auksis' apples remained unchanged after six months' storage under ULO conditions. While due to further ripening process in control and 1-MCP treated apples the content of polyphenols increased. The harvest time is the key factor influencing the total pectin content, while, during six months' storage the main factors affecting the content of pectin were the growing season and storage technology. Analysis of variance showed that the content of vitamin C in 'Auksis' apples depended mainly on the weather conditions, whereas post-harvest vitamin C losses are affected by harvesting time and storage technology.

Due to health benef its, organic food products have increased their demand in recent years. The objective was evaluating the effects of three ecological nutrient solutions, (Tea of compost, vermicompost, and leachate of vermicompost), on yield and quality of melon plants. As a control, an inorganic nutrient solution was used. Our results showed that compost tea promoted fruit yield equivalent to the inorganic nutrient solution. Plants fertilized with compost tea yielded fruits with the highest value of soluble solids content (9.98 ºBrix). Regarding antioxidant capacity, fruits fed with compost tea and vermicompost leachate obtained higher values than fruits fed with nutrient solution, fruits fed with vermicompost leachate obtained statistically higher values than fruits fed with chemical nutrient solution. Concerning to total phenolic content plants fed with vermicompost leachate obtained the highest value statistically similar to control plants fed with the Steiner nutrient solution.
