Summary
The effects of various treatments were evaluated for extending shelf-life of fresh-sliced pears. Sliced Anjou pears had browning-free colour or 30 d by dipping with 1.0% ascorbic acid and 1.0% calcium lactate, but texture was soft with juice leakage. The combination treatment of 0.01% 4-hexylresorcinol (4-HR), 0.5% ascorbic acid and 1.0% calcium lactate can provide 15 to 30 d shelf-life for Anjou, Bartlett, and Bosc pears when the pears are sliced at an average ripeness of 43, 49, and 38 Newton respectively, with 2 min dipping, partial vacuum packaging and 2 to 5 °C storage.
