文摘

Effect of chitosan (CS) enriched with salicylic acid (SA) treatment on physicochemical quality enhancement of Chinese kiwi fruit (Actinidia chinensis Planch) was evaluated during storage at room temperature for 14 days. Preservative treatment samples were dipped by CS, SA, and their combination (CS + SA), compared with the control treated by distilled water. Changes in texture, weight loss, surface colour, pH, vitamin C, soluble solids content (SSC), and microbiology were synchronously examined. Results demonstrated that chitosan with salicylic acid presented more effective preservative effect than sole chitosan or salicylic acid treatment. This optimal treatment significantly maintained texture and colour, inhibited moisture loss and acidity change, and delayed the decomposition of vitamin C and soluble solids. The optimal treatment efficiently maintained texture and surface colour, inhibited weight loss percentage (2.60 %) and acidity change, and delayed the decomposition of vitamin C (maximal content 97.93 mg/kg) and soluble solids. Therefore, CS enriched with SA coating provides an efficient alternative for physicochemical quality enhancement of Chinese kiwi fruits.
