“…About 30-65% of the applied SO 2 is absorbed by fumigated fruits. Alternative procedures to SO 2 fumigation of litchi fruits have been proposed like steam treatment (Kaiser et al, 1995) or hot benomyl dipping (Scott et al, 1982), but so far, no method has been widely accepted or established commercially (Litcher et al, 2000). There is a strict need to enhance the existing techniques and methods to reduce post-harvest losses and ensure longer shelf-life to rapidly perishable fruit like litchi.…”

“…Este escurecimento está associado à dessecação (SCOTT et al, 1982), todavia o estresse por altas temperaturas, a senescência, os danos por frio, as pragas e as doenças também podem provocá-lo. Há, portanto, a necessidade de tecnologias que retardem este escurecimento, aumentando a vida útil pós-colheita e a qualidade comercial de lichias.…”

RESUMO -Objetivou-se avaliar a efetividade da atmosfera modificada, através de embalagens plásticas e coberturas de quitosana, na conservação pós-colheita de lichias. O delineamento estatístico foi o inteiramente casualizado, disposto em esquema fatorial 5 x 7, com 3 repetições, onde o primeiro fator corresponde aos tratamentos: Testemunha; Bandejas rígidas de poliestireno revestidas com filme poliolefínico de 0,015mm (PD955); Bandejas rígidas de polietileno tereftalato (PET); Bandejas de poliestireno recobertas com filme de cloreto de polivinila (PVC) de 0,014mm; e Imersão em quitosana a 0,5%. O segundo fator foi o tempo de armazenamento, 0 (inicial); 4; 8; 12; 16; 20 e 24 dias, a 5 o C (94 %UR). Cada parcela foi composta por 8 frutos, sendo que os tratados com quitosana foram contidos em bandejas rígidas de poliestireno, sem filme. Os resultados obtidos permitiram concluir que a proteção com filmes plásticos reduziu significativamente a perda de massa por lichias mantidas sob refrigeração, com redução na intensidade do escurecimento dos frutos. O tratamento com quitosana a 0,5%, em ácido tartárico a 10%, pH 0,8, mostrou-se efetivo na manutenção da coloração vermelha e na prevenção ao escurecimento, conservando a aparência dos frutos. Termos para indexação: Litchi chinensis, escurecimento do pericarpo, quitosana, embalagens plásticas. USE OF PLASTIC PACKAGING AND COVERAGE OF CHITOSAN IN THE POSTHARVEST CONSERVATION OF LITCHIABSTRACT -The objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a modified atmosphere, by the use of plastic covers packaging and chitosan coverage in lychee postharvest storage. The experimental design was completely randomized in a factorial 5 x 7, with 3 replications, where the first factor corresponds to the treatments: control; rigid polystyrene trays (22.4cm x 14.8cm) coated with a 0.015mm (PD955) polyolefin film (PF); 500ml transparent rigid polyethylene terephthalate (PET) trays with lid; polystyrene trays covered with 0.014mm polyvinyl chloride (PVC) film; and immersion in 0.5% chitosan. The second factor was the storage time, 0 (initial), 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 days at 5 ° C, 94% RH. Each plot consisted of eight fruits, and those treated with chitosan were placed in rigid polystyrene trays without film. The results showed that the modified atmosphere reduced significantly the mass loss of fruits stored under refrigeration, especially with PVC film. Chitosan 0.5% proved to be more effective in maintaining the red color and preventing browning, keeping the fruits more attractive.

“…SINCE long, popular media and academic circles have given widespread recognition to the idea that indigenous people and some other small societies are exemplary conservationists 1,2 . Indigenous conservationism has often been attributed to spiritual respect and practical understanding of the natural world [2][3][4][5] and has given rise to sacred groves at some sites. A sacred grove is a grove or forest with a group of trees or patch of vegetation, which has been protected by local people through religious and cultural practices 6,7 .…”

Role of Antagonistic Yeast <i>Candida tropicalis</i> YZ27 on Postharvest Life and Quality of Litchi cv. Bombai

The efficacy of the antagonistic yeast (Candida tropicalis YZ27) as a biological control agent against postharvest natural decay and quality retention of litchi (cv. Bombai) was studied. Application of the yeast antagonist led to rapid colonization on the surface of the fruit and significantly reduced the natural decay incidence and severity following storage at ambient condition (28  2C, 78  1% RH) for six days compared to control fruit. Application of C. tropicalis YZ27 prevented weight loss of fresh fruit (8.2%), pericarp browning (8%) and reduction of anthocyanin pigments (11%) of the pericarp over control (12.4%, 96.0% and 38.5% respectively in untreated fruit). Quality attributes like total soluble solids, titratable acidity and ascorbic acid content of litchi fruit were 17.18%, 0.53% and 7.78 mg/100 g in C. tropicalis YZ27 applied fruits compared to 11.95%, 0.30% and 6.16 mg/100 g respectively. The results indicate that C. tropicalis YZ27 has great potential for development of commercial biocontrol formulations as an alternative of SO 2 fumigation to control postharvest decay and quality retention of litchi fruit.
