Effect of short anoxia exposure on metabolic changes of persimmon fruits (Diospyros kaki L.).

Author(s) : ZAVRTANIK M., HRIBAR J., VIDRIH R.

Summary

Astringent persimmon fruits were treated in an atmosphere comprised only of CO2 or N2 at 20 °C for 24 hours and then returned to normal (air) conditions at 1 °C. Untreated (control) samples were kept at 20 °C for 24 hours and then stored at 1 °C. The concentration of acetaldehyde increased during treatment (more with CO2 than with N2). After two days fruits treated with N2 had accumulated greater amounts of ethanol than fruits treated with CO2. Anaerobic conditions promoted astringency removal in persimmon fruits.
