Abstract

The late maturity of ‘Wanqiu Hongxintao’ peaches were treated with ultraviolet-C (UV-C) irradiation, hot air (HA), and eugenol, respectively, and then stored at a temperature of 20 ℃ for 8 days to study the inhibition to postharvest disease. Disease incidence, lesion diameter, color, firmness, weight loss rate, soluble solid content, and titratable acid content were measured at two-day intervals during storage. Results showed that all three treatments could effectively inhibit the occurrence of postharvest disease of peach fruit during storage, and HA treatment had the best effect. Compared with the control group, HA at 40 ℃ for 4 h could significantly reduce decay incidence to 20.00% and average lesion diameter to 15.98 mm after 8-day storage. Moreover, water and firmness loss of postharvest peaches were significantly inhibited, but color was maintained (P<0.05). The principal component analysis further verified that HA treatment could help to keep the quality of peach fruit during storage. In conclusion, HA treatment had a good inhibitory effect on the postharvest disease of ‘Wanqiu Hongxintao’ peaches and maintained good quality during storage.
