Change of sugar content in chestnut during low temperature storage.

Author(s) : NOMURA K., OGASAWARA Y., LEMUKAI H., YOSHIDA M.

Summary

Changes in sugar content and enzyme activities involved in starch degradation were monitored in 5 Japanese chestnut (Castanea crenata) cultivars during cold storage (1 deg C). Sucrose content increased and starch content decreased during storage, most notably in the early cultivars. Phosphorylase and neutral and acidic invertase activities remained constant but beta-amylase activity tended to increase during storage.
