Abstract:To investigate the effects of temperture and maturation on postharvest physiology indexes of fruits, respiration intensity, ethylene evolution, POD activity, CAT activity, SOD activity and variations in MDA content were studied during the storage of two maturity Xinjiang Zaohuang fig fruits with room temperature and low temperature. The results showed that the effects of storage temperature on postharvest physiologies proved to be significant difference, low temperature can significantly prolong the fruit’s storage life and shelf life, relieve the accumulation of MDA and reduce the activity of defensive enzymes. There was no significant difference in peroxidase activity and MDA content with different post-harvest fruit maturity, but respiration peak and ethylene peak of low maturity fruit were 4 to 10h delayed comparing to higher maturity fruit. Therefore, low temperature and low maturity is propitious to postharvest preservation of Xinjiang Zaohuang fig fruits. This research would provides a important theoretical significance on the storage of fig fruit.
